I get:
11-12: +.006
10-11: +.010
09-10: +.008
08-09: +.008
You can't use the team save percentage. Especially since Schneider has been one of the top backups in the league the last couple seasons.
EDIT: Just saw you are using EV save percentage.

Yeah, just even strength sv%. It's not a perfect metric because some goalies are better than others on the PK over the long haul, but based on what I've read from people who've put a lot of research into it is that ES sv% is the best predictor of future performance among goalie stats. Goalies that have a medicore ES sv% but a good SH sv% are more often than not simply the product of a very good PK which Pittsburgh has proven to have under Bylsma.
