Didn't want to restate your whole post, but it is a testament to what I have been saying for a long time which is: goalie stats are pretty much useless.
Team trades 2 top 4 defensemen, and goes from okay to terrible, giving up 5 alarm changes all over the place, and the goalie's stats tank. Huh.
Was Markstom as hot as he was earlier? No. But how could he be? It's a team game, and looking at stats can miss that sometimes.
