See the bottom of that list. The team that .010 below everyone else. That's Calgary. The difference between Calgary and 29th (Columbus) is the same as 29th and 16th.

Great post, and it's a pretty reliable stat:


Teams out of playoffs in top 16:

New Jersey - 11th in Sv% 0.915 (9 points out of playoffs)
Buffalo - 12th 0.915 (14 points out of playoffs)
Canucks - 15th 0.913 (14 points out)
Colorado - 16th 0.913 (5 points out - 9th in west)


Teams in playoffs out of top 16:

Dallas - 26th 0.904
Nashville - 21st 0.906
San Jose - 20th 0.907
Detroit - 17th 0.910


Dallas is the only real outlier, and to some extent Buf and Van.
