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.

Safe to say you could make it 14 and say Price would have been on there too. Also not to nitpick but it's convenient how you use an "adjusted" save percentage when it drops another 8 guys to .916/.917. You add the 8 guys on your list and you get 21, add price and you get 22. Point being .918 is not a ridiculous "unadjusted^ sv% to use as a basis for a good starting goalie.
I guess .917 could be used?
