Would that stat be available somewhere?

*Another thing I notice is that a lot of NHL advertisements (over the years) show goals that are usually being scored against a Calgary goaltender.
Intradivisional play has a lot to do with it. When several of the same teams play one another a lot, this is going to happen with a high frequency, and it feels more noteworthy than it actually is. I guarantee that every fan base complains about first goals and first wins from rookie goaltenders.
