Jacob Markstrom's disappointing season continues with worst performance in NHL history
New Jersey Devils v New York Islanders | Al Bello/GettyImagesJust as Devils fans thought things couldn't get worse with Jacob Markstrom this season, he gave up nine goals against the Islanders, a game that was primetime on ESPN for the world to see. It was an example of things going from bad to worse for a team that's in a freefall.
According to a graphic posted on X by Patrick Bacon, Jacob Markstrom's performance was the worst in NHL history when it comes to goals saved above expected with a GSAx of -7.34.
Shout out to @DominicDs34 for the correction, this chart erroneously included shootout goals against.
This makes it even more impressive that Markstrom still ranked 1st.
