Updated automatically from the official NHL stats, last refreshed Oct 9, 10:05 PM. Team save percentage counts empty-net goals, so it is lower than the two goalies combined. Every rank counts from the best team (1st) to the worst (last), so a low number is good and the dot on each bar shows where the Canadiens sit among the teams.
