This one-game scouting report is from a 5-2 loss to the Ottawa 67's on March 30th, 2012. This was a playoff game.
Our scouting reports for goalies focus on their ability to make saves, make big saves, control rebounds, and maintain good balance. The results of these attributes are added together to produce the goaltender's rating. The highest possible rating is 4.00, while the lowest possible rating is 0.00. The higher the value the better a goalie has played.
The first number involved in the calculation is the percentage of saves a goalie makes without giving up a rebound. For example, if a goalie makes 10 saves and gives up only 1 rebound his "no rebound percentage" is .900. Again, the higher the number, the better a goalie performs.
The next number in the calculation is the percentage of safe rebounds a goalie gives up for each save made. Rebounds deflected out of play, or outside of the main slot are considered safe. As such, a safe rebound is defined as a rebound outside of an imaginary line drawn from each goalpost to the corresponding board-side hash mark. As an example of this calculation, if a goalie makes 10 saves and deflects 9 of those pucks outside the slot or out of play, his "safe rebound percentage" is .900. Again, the higher the number, the better a goalie performs.
The next number is the percentage of saves that would be considered "big saves". A big save is defined as any save made on a play that would be considered a traditional scoring chance. As an example of this calculation, if a goalie makes 5 big saves on 20 shots his "big save percentage" would be .250. Once again, the higher the number, the better a goalie performs.
We also track how a goalie controls the puck. We do this by tracking his successful or unsuccessful pass-attempts, as well as his successful or unsuccessful attempts to dump the puck out of his zone. The resulting numbers are used to produce a ratio of successful plays for every 1 unsuccessful play.

Subban produced an overall goaltending rating of 1.90. He stopped 24 of 28 shots in the game, producing a low save percentage of 86% (.857). He produced 21 rebounds on those 24 saves, for a no-rebound percentage of 13% (.125).
He did however, do an excellent job controlling the direction of the rebounds he produced, as his "safe-rebound" percentage was on impressive 70% (.708).
Five of Subban's 24 stops came during scoring chances, and are considered "big saves". This gives him a big save percentage of 21% (.208).
In terms of puck-control, Subban produced a puck-control ratio of 5 successful plays for every 1 unsuccessful play. He completed 4 of 5 pass-attempts, and was successful with his only attempt to dump the puck out of the defensive-zone.
