The Blackhawks’ goaltending is eighth best in the NHL so far this season, with a .915 save percentage across all strengths.
Kevin Lankinen has done a lot of the heavy lifting with a .925 save percentage in 11 games, saving 2.01 goals above expected. Malcolm Subban has pitched in well with a .917 save percentage. Both are top 25 goaltenders in save percentage.
That’s despite the Blackhawks’ defense giving up the seventh most expected goals against per 60 (2.37) and ninth most high-danger chances against per 60 (11.09) at 5-on-5. On the penalty kill, the Blackhawks have given up the 13th most shots on net per 60 at 54.
