Because save% is a terribly inconsistent stat. Look at last game. Zero weak goals (and two were downright unfair to him). Yet because the shots were limited he finished barely above .900.
Is Oettinger a poor goalie? Vasilevksy? Shesterkin? Saaros? Thompson? Their save% is all below Markstrom's.
In save% a goal on a wide open shot by a scrub that's just whiffed on counts the same as a two on one versus the other team's best players. Have a look at his stats versus the goalies who play behind the same skaters as he does - mainly Vladar.
If you see bad goals from Markstrom more than any other goalie I can't help that one. I haven't.
