So us averaging 3 GA since January is all on the goaltenders? We're trying to blame Campbell for this game when 2 of the last 3 goals were just bad defence.
A lot of it is, yes.
4th worst save percentage 5-on-5 in that period, and Mrazek is bringing that up with his mediocre .903. Campbell has an .879.
Meanwhile, we are top 10 in every defensive category in that time. Sure, we had some bad defensive games in there... But our goaltending (or mostly Campbell) has been absolutely deplorable.
If people genuinely believe our defense is the reason why Campbell has an .879 5-on-5 save percentage, with a .660 HDSV%, then I don't know what to tell you. His actual GAA is 3.55, and the xGAA is 2.35.
Today is no different. Most of those 5 goals against right now are squarely on Campbell. Markstrom is making those saves on the other end. Campbell simply is not.
