NHL Goalie Wins Leaders: Washington Capitals
2020-21All situationsThrough 56 team games
This board ranks NHL goalies by wins, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
A goalie is credited with the win when he is in net for the go-ahead goal that stands. Starters on good teams lead, and the totals follow starts more than save percentage. Wins are the one goalie category every league scores. Starts drive them: a workhorse on an average team usually beats a great goalie in a timeshare.
Leader for the Washington Capitals in 2020-21: Vitek Vanecek (WSH), 21 W.
