Goalies
Goalie Save % by Shot Class (Rebound, Rush, Cycle, Off the Draw)
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 team games
Not every shot is equally hard. League-wide, goalies stop about .849 of rebound attempts, .896 of cycle shots, .931 of rush and transition shots and .950 of shots straight off an offensive-zone draw. A goalie who faces more rebounds is going to post a lower raw save percentage through no fault of his own.
This board sorts every unblocked shot against into those classes and ranks goalies by how far their save percentage beats the rate their own shot mix predicts. The class columns show where the gap comes from, with the ± column as a 95% interval.
Leader in 2026-27: Arturs Silovs (PIT), +7.7 FSV% vs exp..
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.

Minimum sample: 30 shots (it scales with games played and sequence coverage). 4 below the minimum are hidden.
How to read it
Percentage points above expected. +1.0 means about one extra save per 100 unblocked shots compared with an average goalie facing the same mix.
How reliable is it?
Per-class splits are small samples; the overall adjustment is steadier. Use the ± interval: two goalies whose intervals overlap are not reliably different.
