Schneider is the most balanced of the goalies, with his peak stats and lowest stats all falling very close to the 89 mark; whereas Quick peaks very highly in endurance and aggression, along with speed and agility. Then Rinne is very strong at defending the low end of his net whilst stopping the puck from bouncing out of his grasp. If you want a quicker goalie, more likely to make those last second, extravagant saves, go for Jonathan Quick LOLGA. If your opponent is likely to attack close to goal, trying to deke in, go Pekka Rinne. The Finn will mop up anything in the low areas. If you can’t decide and just want a trusty, stand-by goalie, go Cory Schneider.

Every goalie has their weakness. Whilst their lowest stats may still be very highly rated, they still present your best shot at getting past them. Carey Price’s lowest stats come in at 88 and 89 – he’s just ridiculously good – with glove high, passing and durability (88) and poke checking (89) being the weak spots. We all know how difficult it is to score on the glove side, but at least his durability means that if you keep going for it, he will eventually concede. So the key with Price is volume. Of course you should always aim high to the glove side, but at some point, a thunderous slap shot from the point will be able to breach that glove side – Price’s left hand, your shooting right side.
