Saves by danger
Average goalies stop nearly every low-danger shot; the great ones separate themselves on the hard chances.
Bars start at .600 so the differences show.
Where the goals went in
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-basedWhere the shots on goal came from, relative to the goalie’s glove hand, and how the saves compare with the league.
From the shooter’s view, with the net at the top. Kevin Lankinen catches with the left hand, so the glove is on the right here. Blue zones beat the league save percentage for the same zone; red fall short. Grey: fewer than 10 shots.
Hover a zone for the numbers.
By side
Goals saved (+) or allowed (−) compared with a league-average save rate on the same shots.
- Glove side.930796 shots · 56 goals · league .910+15.9 goals
- Straight on.859567 shots · 80 goals · league .880−12.2 goals
- Blocker side.904812 shots · 78 goals · league .911−5.8 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.
