Maybe I should have clarified what I meant by giving league average goaltending. I consider a goalie gave his team league average goaltending on a night when he is posting at minimum .900 or better. Now, this is assuming the team wasn't a complete epic disaster defensively. So to qualify, if the goalie is standing on his head but ends up below .900 while his team decides not to play defense giving up odd man rushes and breakaways all game, then I get a goalie can only do so much.
I also do not consider a goalie giving league average goaltending in a game when they give up 2 stinker goals and maybe 3. The first goal, I have him partly at fault because he bit so hard on the one side, he couldn't slide across to the other. The second goal it was all him giving the puck up behind the net. The 4th goal is a goal that can't go in.
So I am not expecting Koskinen to challenge for a vesina but I expect an NHL goalie to not let in 2, maybe 3 garbage goals. That applies to him, Smith, Skinner or any goalie in the league. If Vaslievsky let in the 3 goals I mentioned, I'd say he had a crap night. I thought the Oilers overall did more than enough to win, I thought they have way more better scoring chances. They must have missed the net on 4 or 5 what should have been sure goals. They should be 6-0 if they got a couple of stops. That's literally all they needed was a couple of stops. So I don't think going into a Koskinen start expecting him not to let in at least the 2nd and 4th goal is unrealistic.

Right, what I'm saying is that league average goalies have good games and bad games. If Koskinen only let in goals where the defence totally failed in front of him, he'd be in the Vezina conversation every year.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
