Top One-Game Save Percentage in Bandits Playoff Game (2005-2025)

Not surprisingly, Matt Vinc dominates the Bandits' top performances - and then some. 

Vinc has added his name to this list three times this year, with a No. 2, a No. 3, and a number 8. That means he has the top eight and nine out of ten. Wow. Nothing against Ian MacKay, but that sounds like an MVP of the playoffs. 

The first list is for Buffalo goalies:

Name - Opponent - Date - Saves/Shots - Pct.

Vinc - Toronto - 5/3/24 - 53/57 - .930

Vinc - San Diego - 4/25/25 - 48/52 - .923 

Vinc - Vancouver - 5/2/25 - 35/38 - .921

Vinc - Colorado - 6/3/23 - 46/50 - .920

Vinc - Toronto - 5/12/23 - 52/57 - .912

Vinc - Albany - 5/17/22 - 45/50 - .900

Vinc - New England - 5/14/19 - 46/52 - .885

Vinc - Saskatchewan - 5/24/25 - 42/48 - .875

Cosmo - Toronto - 5/5/12 - 48/55 - .873 

Vinc - Rochester - 5/6/23  - 44/51 - .863 

And while we are at it, we can look at opposing goalies. Someone must play at least 45 minutes to qualify, and Vinc has that record too. But we have an addition to that list this season as well.

Name - Opponent - Date - Saves/Shots - Pct.

Vinc - New York - 5/9/09 - 41/44 - .932

Origlieri - San Diego - 4/25/25 - 39/44 - .886

Del Bianco - Calgary - 5/18/19 - 48/55 - .873

Ward - Colorado - 6/18/22 - 55/63 - .873

Jamieson - Albany - 5/7/22 - 49/57 - .860

Rose - Toronto - 5/5/12 - 36/42 - .857 

Ward - Colorado - 6/11/22 - 40/48 - .833

Dobson - Georgia - 4/27/24 - 49/59 - .831

Bold - Saskatchewan - 5/28/16 - 43/52 - .827

Bold - Saskatchewan - 6/4/16 - 47/57 - .825
