How this list is made

Ranked on wins in the regular season, 1917–18 to 2017–18. Players are ranked on that number alone and on nothing else: there is no judgement here about who was better. Where two are level they share a rank, and the list runs past fifty when fiftieth place is shared, because splitting a tie would mean choosing between them on no stated basis.

Counting statistics only. A rate — an average, a percentage — needs a minimum number of appearances before it means anything, and no such minimum is published that this site could cite. Inventing one would put a number nobody chose at the centre of a ranking. A total needs no cut-off: most goals is a fact with nothing hidden in it.

Some of these careers were not over. Roberto Luongo, Henrik Lundqvist, Marc-Andre Fleury, Ryan Miller, Cam Ward and Pekka Rinne — and 4 others on this list — played in 2017–18, the last season these figures cover, so their totals are what they had reached by then and not what they finished with. This site has no source for what has happened since.

Career figures from the Hockey Databank project, obtained free of charge and copyrighted by it. Regular season only; the play-offs are not counted.
