On the radar, each spoke runs from the lowest at the centre to the league leader at the rim, among the 34 goalies who played at least a quarter as many games as the busiest. The gap between two players on a spoke is the real gap between their numbers. The dashed shape is the typical player. Hover over a dot for the number.
