NHL Goalie Games Started Leaders
2018-19All situationsThrough 82 team games
This board ranks NHL goalies by games started, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
Games started counts the games a goalie began in net. Workhorse starters reach 60 or more; most teams now split the net closer to 55-27. Starts are opportunity: every win, save and shutout needs one. Watch for timeshares forming early in the season.
Leader in 2018-19: Devan Dubnyk (MIN), 66 GS.
