Our scouting reports for goalies focus on their ability to make saves, make big saves, control rebounds, and maintain good balance. We also track goalies ability to make passes. 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 rebound allowed. Rebounds deflected 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 gives up 10 rebounds and deflects 9 of those pucks outside the slot, 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.
PETR MRAZEK
Unfortunately, at the time of this scouting report I wasn't yet separating reports by manpower situation. This report will not contain Mrazek's short-handed rating during the game. It will only show his overall rating.
Mrazek ended the game with a 1.84 goaltending rating. He did a good job using his body to freeze the puck, and allowed only 18 total rebounds on 32 saves; producing a no-rebound percentage of 44% (.438). He had difficulty however, keeping the rebounds he did produce out of the danger area, as 12 of those 18 rebounds landed in the slot. Giving him a safe-rebound percentage of only 33% (0.333).
Four of Mrazek's 32 saves were made when the other team had a scoring chance. This gives Mrazek a big-save percentage of 13% (.125).
Mrazek's best result came from his overall save percentage. He stopped 32 of 34 shots; producing a save % of 94% (.941).
Mrazek's puck-handling ability was average during the game. He completed 5 of 7 pass-attempts, and was not successful with his only attempt to dump the puck out of the defensive-zone. Overall, he produced a puck-handling ratio of 1.67 successful plays for every 1 unsuccessful play.
