GSAA — Goals Saved Above Average
Advanced stat
Quick Definition
Goals saved compared to a league-average goalie.
Full Explanation
GSAA answers a simple question: how many more (or fewer) goals did this goalie save compared to what an average goalie would have saved facing the same shots? A positive GSAA means the goalie is better than average. For example, a GSAA of +10 means this goalie saved 10 more goals than an average goalie would have. It's one of the best ways to evaluate goalies because it accounts for workload.
