How the Goals Against Average Race Works
Goals allowed per 60 minutes of ice time. Unlike save percentage, GAA depends on how many shots a team gives up, so goalies behind strong defenses have an edge.
| Goals against average | Goals allowed times 60, divided by minutes played; empty net goals are excluded |
| Elite | 2.30 or lower over a full season |
| Very good | 2.31 to 2.60 |
| League average | Around 2.80 to 3.00 |
The board updates automatically through the season and switches to the playoff race in April. Early in the season the list moves a lot from night to night.
