Goaltender Shootout Streaks

[Doctor No]

What if a player misses the net or hits the post/crossbar, does that still count as a "save" for the goalie?

It does per the NHL's algorithms.

I do have the data separately in my database (although it also relies on the team scorekeepers determining whether or not a non-goal was a save or a miss).

Funny how at some point in the 11-12 season (ironically) or so Hank has regressed in the shootout. He has improved as a goalie but regressed in the shootout. Maybe it's more random than we'd like to believe.

I tried something awhile back that suggested that the year-to-year correlation is positive, but not very much so (certainly far less repeatable than other goalie statistics).

This is something I need to reprise.

Sergei Bobrovsky's streak is at 14 saves, and counting.

Bobrovsky's streak came to an end last night at 16. Still impressive.

 

[Doctor No]

Braden Holtby's consecutive save streak ended at 17 last night.

 

[Doctor No]

Last night, Buffalo's Robin Lehner tied the NHL record for consecutive shootout goals allowed (with seven), and the streak is active.

 

[Doctor No]

Last night, Buffalo's Robin Lehner allowed his eighth and ninth consecutive shootout goals against, an NHL record:

http://hockeygoalies.org/bio/lehner.html

Lehner is 0-for-8 this season, and has not stopped a shootout attempt since one year ago today - March 5, 2016 (Zach Parise).

Lehner has now lost eight consecutive shootouts, not earning a win since December 13, 2014 against Boston (while he was still with Ottawa).

 

[Doctor No]

With his win tonight, Detroit's Petr Mrazek now holds a shootout save streak of 13, and a shootout win streak of seven.

 

[Doctor No]

Will also be interesting if Jhonas Enroth ever gets another chance to extend his 22-save shootout streak.

Lundqvist still with the all-time mark (25).

 

[Doctor No]

I don't see my old thread here, so I'll eventually rebuild that.

Carey Price stopped 3-of-3 Buffalo shooters last night, and now has an active shootout save streak of nine.

The last player to score on Price was Mats Zuccarello on February 21.

 

[Doctor No]

Thomas Greiss has now allowed goals on six of the last seven shootout attempts.

 

[Doctor No]

Henrik Lundqvist has now allowed goals on four consecutive shootout attempts (although a pretty good four - Kessel, Crosby, Eberle, Tavares).

 

[Doctor No]

Reto Berra and the Ducks beat the Sharks in a shootout last night, bringing Berra's career NHL shootouts record to a perfect 7-0.

 

[Doctor No]

Malcolm Subban stopped all six Nashville shots last night, and is now 100% (9/9) on his NHL career in the tiebreaker.

 

[Doctor No]

Malcolm Subban stopped four more (Vancouver) shootout attempts last night, and is still a perfect 100% (13 for 13) on his NHL career in the event.

 

[Doctor No]

Hi, everyone!

Andrei Vasilevski stopped two Panthers tonight and has an active nine-save streak.

 

[Doctor No]

Mikko Koskinen has now stopped the first nine shootout attempts of his NHL career.

(Subban still at 13, Jones still holds the record from start of career at 17).

 

[Doctor No]

Will also be interesting if Jhonas Enroth ever gets another chance to extend his 22-save shootout streak.

Lundqvist still with the all-time mark (25).

At this point, it does appear that Enroth won't get a chance to extend his shootout streak unless he decides to return from Minsk, so Lundqvist is safe (or as safe as these things get).

 

[Doctor No]

Hi, everyone!

Andrei Vasilevski stopped two Panthers tonight and has an active nine-save streak.

Vasilevski's active save streak is at twelve and counting.

 

[Doctor No]

Vasilevski's streak just ended at fourteen (Alex Tuch).

From Garon's Wiki page:

Following the 2006–07 season, Garon became an unrestricted free agent and on July 3, 2007, he signed a two-year, $2.2 million contract with the Edmonton Oilers.[2] Garon split time with incumbent starter Dwayne Roloson and his strong play earned him 47 appearances through which he posted a 2.66 GAA, .913 save percentage and four shutouts. Despite his efforts, the Oilers failed to qualify for the playoffs. However, Garon earned praise for going a perfect 10–0 in shootouts that season, stopping a remarkable 30 of 32 shot attempts in the process.[3]

To stop 30 of 32 shots sometimes gets a goalie first star in a game. To do the same thing on 32 uncontested breakaways is ridiculous. Can't ever see anyone topping this stat.

 

[Doctor No]

I can confirm 30-for-32 in 2007-08; he was also an impressive 82-for-109 in his NHL career.

 

[Doctor No]

Last night, Buffalo's Robin Lehner allowed his eighth and ninth consecutive shootout goals against, an NHL record:

Robin Lehner

Lehner is 0-for-8 this season, and has not stopped a shootout attempt since one year ago today - March 5, 2016 (Zach Parise).

Lehner has now lost eight consecutive shootouts, not earning a win since December 13, 2014 against Boston (while he was still with Ottawa).

Lehner's record is still the record, but Roberto Luongo now has an active "goals allowed" streak of six.

 

[Canadiens1958]

Interesting work in progress.

Combining the concept of streaks with key events.

Is a trend emerging that would point to the key shot amongst the first six shots? Example goalie stopping the first of six shot gives his team a better chance of winning.

 

[Doctor No]

Malcolm Subban stopped four more (Vancouver) shootout attempts last night, and is still a perfect 100% (13 for 13) on his NHL career in the event.

Subban now at a perfect 16-for-16 in his NHL career with the win over Florida on Thursday.

(And Luongo's streak of goals allowed ended at six.)
