The stats don't lie as Markstrom has been a below average starter in his time with the Flames. He wasn't bad last night but that first goal is saved by most NHL goaltenders and the Flames just don't have the finish to overcome soft goals. If he doesn't play a lot better, this team doesn't have a chance.

Yup, so far he has been the second best goalie in both games and that’s not enough
Sure it’s not his fault but he needs to make a big and timely save. He needs to win the close games.
Btw, Markstrom is a great goalie is a myth. He had one or two good year in Vancouver and they never won.
