No win-loss record the NHL credits the decision to whoever was in net, not the starter
A decision goes to whichever goalie was in net when the winning goal was scored, which is a play-by-play fact rather than part of a boxscore line — and 884 team-games here used more than one goalie, so crediting the starter would be wrong often enough to matter. Save percentage is total saves over total shots faced. A shutout is a game this goalie was the only one their team used and conceded nothing, which is the NHL's own rule and needs no minimum-minutes cutoff.

No goalie market is modeled, so no projections are shown. The game log above is this player's record.

Per-game rates are recency-weighted over this player's game log. Expected goals come from the xG model over open-play unblocked attempts; totals are not directly comparable across seasons. Every number on this page was worked out overnight and is only read here, never recalculated while you wait.
