Saves by danger

Model-based

Average goalies stop nearly every low-danger shot; the great ones separate themselves on the hard chances.

Where the goals went in

Model-based

Each red dot is a goal allowed. The shading shows where this goalie faced more (red) or fewer (blue) shots than an average goalie per 60 minutes.

Glove side, blocker side

Model-based

Where the shots on goal came from, relative to the goalie’s glove hand, and how the saves compare with the league.

Save percentage by angle and distance

From the shooter’s view, with the net at the top. Mike McKenna catches with the right hand, so the glove is on the left here. Blue zones beat the league save percentage for the same zone; red fall short. Grey: fewer than 10 shots.

By side

Goals saved (+) or allowed (−) compared with a league-average save rate on the same shots.

  • Glove side.842
    19 shots · 3 goals · league .922−1.5 goals
  • Straight on.889
    9 shots · 1 goals · league .881+0.1 goals
  • Blocker side.955
    22 shots · 1 goals · league .924+0.7 goals

The NHL’s public data records where a shot was taken, not where it crossed the goal line, so a true glove-high, blocker-low map isn’t possible. The side the shot came from is the closest honest stand-in: a wide shot from the glove side mostly tests the glove.
