Goaltending

The Crease

Every goalie in one place: who starts tonight and what it does to the odds, who is being leaned on too hard, who is stopping more than he should, and how much each team drops off when the backup plays.

Tonight's starters

Starters from Daily Faceoff. The number on the right is how much each goalie moves his team's win odds against its usual goaltending.

Workload watch

The last 14 days for every goalie who has started in that time, busiest first.

Leaderboard

Goals saved above expected: goals an average goalie would have allowed on the same shots, minus goals actually allowed.

Tandems

How each team splits its starts, sorted by how much it loses when the backup is in. Gaps use the same pull toward average as the model, so a backup with one or two starts doesn't swing the list.

How to read it

  • GSAx (goals saved above expected) uses MoneyPuck's shot model. +3.0 means three fewer goals allowed than an average goalie on the same shots. Per 60 puts goalies with different workloads on the same scale.
  • Win odds effect compares tonight's starter with his team's goaltending as a whole, the same way the HockeyWiz model does. Each goalie is pulled toward his team's average by 10 phantom games, the effect is capped at 0.3 goals a game, and a goal is worth about 17 points of win odds.
  • Qualified goalies have played at least half as many games as the busiest goalie in the league.
  • Workload flags: started yesterday, or four or more starts in the last seven days.
  • Ranks are out of the qualified goalies, coloured from green (top of the league) to red (bottom), with the rank always written beside the colour.
