Goalie watch: What we learned from a subpar 2024 season
Juuse Saros and Igor Shesterkin have made late-season charges in value, but prior to February it was Connor Hellebuyck all alone that could be described as elite, expected (was top 10 in ADP back in October) and reliable fantasy goaltending.
With only a dozen or so games left in the season for most teams, only Hellebuyck and Thatcher Demko have a real chance to earn 200 fantasy points this season. Demko is still sidelined and Hellebuyck is mired in a slump with negative points in five of his past eight. So there is a possibility we might not have a goaltender with 200 fantasy points this season.
That helps paint the picture of how much the position has been a struggle this season. Last season there were five goaltenders with 200 fantasy points; there were four the season prior to that; Andrei Vasilevskiy almost got there in 2020-21 despite the season being just 56 games … you get the picture.
Fantasy stats are down in the crease this season — but it goes beyond that.
2016-17: 6,394.6 total goalie fantasy points
2017-18: 6,366.8 total goalie fantasy points
2018-19: 5,950.2 total goalie fantasy points
2019-20: 4,977.4 total goalie fantasy points (season cut short)
2020-21: 3,885.0 total goalie fantasy points (56-game season)
2021-22: 5,565.6 total goalie fantasy points
2022-23: 5,026.0 total goalie fantasy points
2023-24: 4,306.4 total goalie fantasy points (so far, 86.5% of season)
It’s pretty clear to see the downward trend even around the COVID-19 shortened campaigns. And yes, as you might expect, the fantasy points by skaters is on the opposite trajectory. Back in 2016-17, all skaters accounted for stats worth 63,545.7 fantasy points, and last season all skaters managed to get 71,575.1.
With these troubles in mind, let’s offer a snapshot of each crease to help inform your decisions over the next three weeks.
FPAPG is fantasy points against per game and offers a tally of how many fantasy points a team allows to opponents. This can be targeted to a position. So if I tell you the Chicago Blackhawks have a 4.18 FPAPG to goaltenders, that means goalies have averaged 4.18 fantasy points against the Hawks this season.
The teams are listed in order of how many total fantasy points have come from their crease this season. Any goaltender that has seen action in a team’s last 10 games is listed.
