You likely can’t even correlate games played to even making the playoffs in a meaningful way.

Yeah, because it is not especially meaningful. But you sure as hell can correlate games played to goalie success by the time teams are playing in the Conference Finals. If a team has designs on playing hockey in May I can guarantee that they are also very wary about the number of games their starter is playing in February and March.
