What Save Percentage measures

This board ranks NHL goalies by save percentage, regular season only, among goalies with enough starts. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table. Saves divided by shots on goal (minimum starts scale with the season).

Save percentage needs a big sample: even a full season is only moderately repeatable. Compare it with the shot-quality boards. A row needs at least 25 starts to qualify, a bar that rises as the season goes on, so early leaders with a handful of games do not crowd the top.

Save percentage is saves divided by shots on goal. League average sits around .900 to .905; a full season above .920 is elite. SV% is a ratio category, so a goalie with few starts can help or hurt it a lot. The minimum-starts cutoff keeps emergency call-ups off the top. In 2021-22, 47 goalies qualify for this board; the median is 0.910 and Igor Shesterkin leads at 0.935.
