How every number is calculated

Percentiles (0–100) rank him against every goalie with 1,200+ minutes that season (61 in 2025-26). Tiers: Elite 90+ · Strong 70–89 · Average 40–69 · Below avg 20–39 · Weak 0–19. Roles are simple rules applied in order; the first one that fits wins. Expected goals and RAPM, explained and backtested

Shot stopping
Goals saved compared with what our expected-goals model says an average goalie allows on the same shots. Category score = weighted average of the graded metrics' percentiles in that category, re-ranked 0-99 against every qualified skater (or every skater in his position group when 'vs position' is on). Style numbers (weight 0) are shown but not graded.
GSAxGoals saved above expected
Expected goals faced minus goals allowed, season total. +10 is excellent. How: Sum of our xG on every unblocked, non-empty-net shot he faced − goals allowed on them.
dSV%Save % vs expected
Save percentage minus the save percentage an average goalie would post on his shots, in percentage points. How: GSAx ÷ shots on goal faced × 100.
GSAx/60GSAx per 60
Goals saved above expected per 60 minutes. How: GSAx ÷ time on ice × 60.
SV%Save %
Plain save percentage. Shown, not graded: it ignores how hard the shots were. How: Saves ÷ shots on goal (NHL). Shown, not graded.
Danger saves
Save percentage on low-, medium- and high-danger shots (danger = our xG). Category score = weighted average of the graded metrics' percentiles in that category, re-ranked 0-99 against every qualified skater (or every skater in his position group when 'vs position' is on). Style numbers (weight 0) are shown but not graded.
HD SV%High-danger save %
Save % on shots our model rates 15%+ to score, volume-adjusted. How: (HD saves + 40 × league HD SV%) ÷ (HD shots + 40). Raw in the note.
MD SV%Medium-danger save %
Save % on shots rated 5–15% to score, volume-adjusted. How: Same adjustment, 40 league-average shots added.
LD SV%Low-danger save %
Save % on shots rated under 5% to score, volume-adjusted. How: Same adjustment, 40 league-average shots added.
