Save percentage in an NLL season (2005-2024)

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. Nick Rose cracked the list for his 2023-24 season, which means he is on this list four times.

Note: You need to play half of a team's minutes in a season to qualify:

Name - Team - Year - S/Pct.
Doug Jamieson - New England - 2019-20 - .829
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2019-20 - .816
Dillon Ward - Colorado - 2019-20 - .816
Zach Higgins - Philadelphia - 2019-20 - .815
Ken Montour - Buffalo - 2009 - .813

Evan Kirk - Saskatchewan - 2019-20 - .812
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2023-24 - .812
Matt Vinc - Orlando - 2010 - .810
Christian Del Bianco - Calgary - 2022-23 - .810
Warren Hill - Halifax - 2019-20 - .809

Ken Montour - Buffalo - 2008 - .808
Steve Dietrich - Buffalo - 2006 - .808
Matt Vinc - Buffalo - 2019-20 - .808
Matt Vinc - Buffalo - 2021-22 - .807
Christian Del Blanco - Calgary - 2019-20 - .805 

Nick Rose - Toronto - 2022-23 - .805
