What counts

a regulation loss charged to the goalie of record. Overtime and shootout losses are counted separately as OTL.

Where the numbers come from

LineupExperts' goalie projections, shown as published.

Reading the list

most projected losses first. Busy starters on weak teams top it; a goalie with many starts can carry many losses and still be worth starting for wins and saves, so read losses next to starts and wins.

💡
Pro Tip: In leagues that subtract for losses, the goalies near the top are the riskiest starts. Compare their projected wins before benching them.

† Edgehalla model: derived from LineupExperts' goals, assists and ice-time projection plus NHL history. +/-, shorthanded goals, assists and points are high-variance: the projections are small expected values ranked mostly by ice-time role, and actual totals swing a lot. How the model works
