As of last year, the shortest guy was 60, and average was 63
Edit: just saw your update and noticed that the guy playing is 60. Even that is short now.

As of the time of the article :
He was the only guy 60 even, and the 4 guys who were 61 are mostly getting long in the tooth (Lundqvist, Quick, Hutton, Howard) |
Accordind to NHL.com, Khudobin, Halak, and Saros are all 5'11". Seven other goalies played 25 or more games who are 6'0".
Koskinen and Bishop are both listed 6'7".
But the point still stands that most elite NHL goalies are big.
