More Scoring in the NHL?
It’s no wonder that the NHL has legislated a reduction in the size of goaltending equipment, as the trend is obvious when looking at the leaguewide goaltending numbers for every fourth season since 1983-84. Will the new rules changes reverse this trend and increase scoring?
Goals-Against Average & Save Percentage, Entire NHL
(Every fourth season since 1983-84)
GAA Sv Pct
1983-84 3.94 .871
1987-88 3.71 .878
1991-92 3.48 .886

1999-00 2.75 .902
