NHL Goalie Goals Against Average Leaders

2018-19All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks NHL goalies by goals against average, lowest first, regular season only, among goalies with enough starts. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.

Goals against average is goals allowed per 60 minutes in net. Lower is better: below 2.50 over a full season is excellent, and the team's defence shapes it as much as the goalie. GAA is a ratio category, ranked here from lowest. Like SV%, a starter behind a strong defence often looks better than his save percentage says.

Leader in 2018-19: Jordan Binnington (STL), 1.89 GAA.
