NHL Goalie Save Percentage Leaders
2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games
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.
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.
Leader in 2017-18: Carter Hutton (STL), 0.931 SV%.
