Another Bruin gets honored!

The Boston Bruins have already seen two of their players on a top-20 list (article here). And now, the Bruins can add a third player to such an honor list with Tuukka Rask.

Rask find himself in the 7th place of the top 20, as per Andrew Berkshire from Sportsnet. This time, however, it wasn’t over a vote, but rather over a study that looked at statistics (all of which are explained in Berkshire’s article).

However, here are how Berkshire rated each of the goalies, and tallied the list of the top 20 goalkeepers currently in the game.

Performance: 5-vs-5 save percentage, 5-vs-4 save percentage, 4-vs-5 save percentage, and inner slot save percentage.

Consistency: Quality start percentage, percentage of possible starts that were started, and really bad start percentage (starts with a save percentage below .850).

Difficulty: 5-vs-5 scoring chances against per 60, 5-vs-4 scoring chances against per 60, 4-vs-5 scoring chances against per 60, team high danger passes (slot, off the rush, East-West) against per 60, expected save percentage based on shot location, and rebound loose puck recovery rate.
