Goals saved against the league average: what a league-average goalie would have allowed on the unblocked attempts he faced in open play, minus the goals he allowed. The shot model’s expected goals are scaled so the league’s goalies together match the goals they allowed that season, so each season is measured against its own average. Above zero, he saved more than an average goalie would have. GP: games played; Att: unblocked attempts faced.

No win-loss record — the NHL credits a decision to whoever was in net, not to 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 box-score 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 his team used and conceded nothing, which is the NHL’s own rule and needs no minimum-minutes cutoff.
