He managed to pick the top of corner of the net, the only spot Markstrom hadn’t covered. The league average save percentage on high danger shots, ones basically on top of the crease, is 82.8 per cent. Markstrom is actually a hair below, posting a 82.2 save percentage. Add it all up and he’s looking at a 90.1 even strength save percentage, which is in the bottom-third of the league. It’s important to understand that save percentage isn’t all about the goalie.
