STATS CORNER: TOP NHL GOALIES IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS

July 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

By Chris Boersma

So, here is a compilation of all the saves/goals/shots etc. each goalie faced over the last 5 years (inc. playoffs). I may be missing some games, but there is a lot of data here. The “Cred” column is just adjusting the shot quality neutral save percentage based on number of shots faced (regressing to the mean).

EG = Expected Goals
G = Actual Goals
SQN = shot quality neutral save percentage
= 1- 0.0926*G /EG
SV% = real save percentage
= 1 – G / S

Note: The expected goals are adjusted for site based biased shot information.
Few things of note
- Save percentages over 0.920 are not really sustainable (8 goalies in 2010).
- I didn’t realize how good Hiller is.
- Raycroft is really bad (allowed almost 100 more goals than average)
