Jacob Markstrom was once considered the best goalie not in the NHL by many fans and writers. It’s taken him longer than expected to live up to that potential and it may finally be here for the Vancouver Canucks this season. Over Markstrom’s tenure with the Canucks, they have not been a very good team overall, especially defensively.
Since the start of the 2017-18 season when Markstrom was in sole possession of the starter job, he has faced the seventh most high danger shots against in the NHL with 1013, as per NaturalStattrick.
