  2. Pre-1956 Estimated Save Percentages
  1. When attempting to determine the greatest goaltender of all time, an important statistic missing from the record books is the save percentages (Sv%) of goaltenders competing prior to the 1955-1956 season. Here we aim to provide an estimate of what each goaltenders unknown save percentage (Sv%) could be.

    To create these estimates we decided to simply analyze how a goaltenders goals against average (GAA), a statistic available for the NHL's entire history, is related to that goaltenders save percentage . We used a simple linear regression with goals against average as our single independent variable. We fit our model using the data available for goaltenders competing from 1956 to 2021 and enlisted the help of k-fold cross-validation to avoid overfitting our model due to a poor training-testing split. You will see in the table below that we also compute the 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each of our save percentage estimations.

    To calculate the goals saved above average (GSAA) metric we operated under the assumption that goaltenders faced the same average shots per 60 minutes as the goaltenders competing after 1954-1955.

    The figure below shows our fitted linear regression model plotted with each goaltenders performance from 1956-2021.
