DYLAN GARAND RANKS TOP 12 IN GSAx — BUT THE BOARD DOESN'T SAY SO YET? RANGERS NEWS

Dylan Garand is 3-1 with a 1.15 GAA and a .951 save percentage filling in for Igor Shesterkin, out for the season, and MoneyPuck already has him ranked 12th in the NHL in goals saved above expectation — a number first reported by Nick Ziegler for New York Rangers On SI after the Rangers' win over Tampa Bay during Frozen Frenzy. But no official single-season save percentage leaderboard recognizes that number yet, because every version of that ranking, from independent stat sites to the NHL's own official record pages, runs behind a games-played qualifying threshold, and four appearances isn't enough to clear it. This video breaks down that mechanism, lines it up against Garand's near-identical three-game look last season, and lays out exactly what to watch as his games-played total climbs toward the new year. — SOURCES — Hockey-Reference, rate stat qualification requirements (single-season save percentage minimum games played): https://www.hockey-reference.com/abou...
