Most goalie's wins in a season without a loss (2007 to 2020)

It's not easy to have a perfect record as a goalie, since it depends on how good your teammates are. That applies to goalies who don't lose and who don't win.

It should be noted that if a team falls behind early and changes goalies, it's easy for the backup to get the loss. Say Buffalo falls behind, 6-0, and pulls the starter. The teams each score seven goals to make the final score 13-7. But the backup gave up the eighth goal, so he gets the loss. This isn't like a baseball pitcher. 

We need two decisions to qualify at the moment, as we continue to go back in time:

Name - Team - Year - Record
Gee Nash - Colorado - 2007 - 9-0
Matt King - Calgary - 2009 - 7-0
Ryan Avery - Calgary - 2007 - 4-0
Angus Goodleaf - Rochester - 2015 - 2-0

Now the ones who went winless. It's not really fair to the two new additions, since they lost some chances to win. But that's the way it works here:

Name- - Team - Year - Record
Brandon Miller - Toronto - 2016 - 0-6
Matt Roik - Vancouver - 2014 - 0-6
Brodie MacDonald - Vancouver - 2018 - 0-5
Derek Collins - Chicago - 2008 - 0-5
Dan Lewis - Colorado - 2013 - 0-4
Steve Fryer - Rochester - 2019-20 - 0-4
Gowah Abrams - New York - 2019-20 - 0-4
Ty Belanger - Vancouver - 2018 - 0-3
Doug Jamieson - New England - 2017 - 0-3
Christian Del Bianco - Calgary - 2017 - 0-3
Angus Goodleaf - Buffalo - 2011 - 0-3
Derek Collins - Rochester - 2009 - 0-3
Dallas Eliuk - Portland - 2008 - 0-3
Mike Poulin - Toronto - 2008 - 0-3
Ken Montour - Philadelphia - 2007 - 0-3
