    How the wall is built

    High danger

    NHL Edge splits every shot on goal by where it came from. High danger is the crease and the low slot, the ice right in front of the net. High-danger save % is saves divided by shots from there.

    Who qualifies

    Goalies need Edge's minimum games played to make the list, the same cutoff Edge uses for its own leaderboards. Backups who played twice don't get a brick.

    The averages

    The tick on each bar is our average: total high-danger goals over total high-danger shots for every goalie on this page. The foundation line under the wall is Edge's own league average.
