What Shots Against measures
This board ranks NHL goalies by shots against, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table. Shots on goal faced while in net, regular season.
A workload stat: starts and team shot suppression explain almost all of it.

Shots against drive saves in points leagues; a busy goalie on a bad team can still score well there. In 2019-20, 4 goalies qualify for this board; the median is 185 and Carey Price leads at 1,755.
