What Losses measures
This board ranks NHL goalies by losses, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table. Regulation losses charged, regular season (overtime losses in OTL).
Losses are a team and workload stat: the busiest starters on bad teams top it.

High totals usually mean heavy usage on a weak team rather than poor play. In 2017-18, 2 goalies qualify for this board; the median is 18 and Scott Darling leads at 21.
