Goalie data stories
How the game changed, told through the numbers.
- The Schedule Got Kinder. The Second Night Didn’t. In the Original Six era about a third of NHL games were a team’s second night in a row, and one goalie played both.
- Hainsworth’s 22 Was Mostly Arithmetic George Hainsworth’s 22 shutouts in 1928-29 have stood for almost a century.
- A Shootout Shooter Needs More Than 200 Tries Before Skill Outweighs Luck. The Most Anyone Has Taken Is 135. T.J.

How to Read Starting Goalie Status
- Confirmed
- The team or a reliable beat report has named the starter. Late scratches still happen (warmup injuries, illness), which is why we keep a history and flag any change.
- Expected
- Strong signals point to one goalie (first off the ice at morning skate, coach hints, the usual rotation) but nothing is official yet.
- Projected
- A forecast from rotation patterns, rest and the schedule. Most starters two or three days out are projected, and they change more often.

What's the difference between confirmed, expected and projected?
Confirmed means the team or a reliable beat report has named the starter. Expected means strong signals (morning skate, first off the ice, coach hints) point to one goalie but nothing is official. Projected is a forecast from rotation patterns, rest and back-to-backs, and is common two or three days out.
What does 2nd night of back-to-back mean for goalies?
The team also played the night before. Most NHL teams split back-to-backs between their goalies, so the usual starter is more likely to sit and the backup more likely to start. Treat a projected starter on the second night with extra caution.
