You might get a general idea of which goalies are having good seasons by looking at GAA and save percentage, but to get a better idea of which ones are truly having the best seasons, you have to dig into the context of the types of shots they're facing, too.

The most important part of a goalie's job is to save the puck, so as long as they're doing that everything is OK. But when talking about which are highlights and which are flukes, we have to look a little closer.

When you think of who the best puckhandling goalies are in the NHL, you'll probably think of players who make big, risky plays because they stick in your mind. But contrast those with the subtleties of Carey Price and you'll see there's more than one way for a goalie to be an asset here.
