Line 6:
Although the statistic is called "save ''percentage''", it is given as a decimal (in the same way as an [[on-base percentage]] in [[baseball]]). Thus, ''.933'' means a goaltender saved 93.3 percent of all shots they faced. [[National Hockey League]] goaltenders typically have a save percentage above .900, and [[National Lacrosse League]] goaltenders typically have a save percentage above .750.
In ice hockey internationally, a save percentage is expressed as a true percentage, not a decimal, i.e. 90%.
Save percentage applies in an analogous way to [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeepers]] in [[association football]].
