What the heck happened to save percentages in 2019-20? The numbers jumped considerably. Put it this way - the top four numbers in history were compiled that season. I have no idea what happened. Great year for goalies? Different equipment? New statistical method for counting shots? I don't think I can blame the short season for it, unless goaltending gets worse as the season goes on.
Since then, the goaltending has still been good, but not that good. A few names popped on to my top 20 list all-time.
Note: You need to play half of a team's minutes in a season to qualify:
