Among goalies with 900 minutes played this season there are 29 goalies with a .918
Among those 29, the following 13 have over 50+ GP
Bishop
Crawford
Schneider
Holtby
Luongo
MAF
Mrazek
Lundqvist
Quick
Dubnyk
Mason
Smith
Jones
Among those 29, the following twelve play on the same team as another with over .918 SV% (or, "A strong tandem"):
Allen/Elliot
Luongo/Montoya
Lehner/Johnson
Neuvirth/Mason
Holtby/Grubauer
Greiss/Halak
Among those above the following have over 35GP:
Holtby
Allen
Elliot
Johnson
Mason
Luongo
Halak
Greiss
Among those 29, nine have an
adjusted save percentage below .918, suggesting they have been the beneficiaries a team defense allowing relatively many perimeter shots to inflate percentages (the opposite of the Flames' shot blocking style):
Luongo (.916)
Hutton (.917)
Gibson (.916)
Reimer (.917)
Lundqvist (.917)
Johnson (.916)
Korpisalo (.916)
Smith (.912)
Dubnyk (.916)
If a .918, being either a 50+ GP or being a 35+ GP portion of a .918+ tandem, and a .918 Adjusted percentage are the criteria the following are starters:
Elliot
Bishop
Crawford
Greiss
Schneider
Holtby
MAF
Mrazek
Allen
Halak
Quick
Mason
Jones
There are only thirteen starters in the NHL.
Personally I think there are more.
