Below are some interactive visualizations using the extracted data.
A line plot showing the total number of shutouts recorded per NHL season from 2000-01 to 2023-24. The number of shutouts has generally declined over time, with notable dips in shortened or disrupted seasons (e.g., 2004–05, 2012–13, and 2020–21).
Trends in the average age of NHL goaltenders at the start of each season from 2000-01 to 2023-24. The average goaltender age has been stable over the past two decades, hovering between 27 and 28 years old.
Average save percentage (SV%) of NHL goaltenders by season and catching handedness. While left-catching goalies are more common, both groups have shown similar performance trends over time, with no consistent advantage observed for either handedness. Differences may reflect sample size variability rather than meaningful performance gaps.
