NHL Goalie Shutouts Leaders: Buffalo Sabres
2025-26All situationsThrough 82 team games
This board ranks NHL goalies by shutouts, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
A shutout is credited to a goalie who plays the whole game without allowing a goal. Combined shutouts by two goalies are credited to neither. The league leader usually has five to ten. Shutouts are a scarce category and swing weekly matchups. They come in streaks and need starts, so the leaders are mostly workhorse starters.
Leader for the Buffalo Sabres in 2025-26: Alex Lyon (BUF), 3 SO.
