The Shutout record is even more insane. Fleury just passed Roy for 2nd overall wins. He has 75 shutouts to Marty's 125.
The 2 most consistently good goalies of the last generation, Luongo and Lundqvist, are at 77 and 64 respectively.
The 2 most consistently good goalies of this generation are Hellebuyck and Vasilevskiy. They are at 40 and 36 respectively.
Hellebuyck will have to play at his current level until he's 50, in order to reach those shutout numbers.
The upcoming generational goalie is Shesterkin and he's not even worth doing the math because he entered the league a few years too late.
Our current goalie has been around the league for over a decade and he's only at 21 shutouts.
I remember when Markstrom got his first shutout, and for some reason I think he may have went some kind of record number of starts before getting his first shutout.
Maybe I'm wrong on that, as there were probably a ton of goalies back in the day when scoring was sky high, who started a ton of games before getting their first shutout or maybe no shutouts at all.
So maybe it wasn't a record, but it was a really, really long time. I'm pretty sure he went to around or over 100 starts in the league before his first shutout.
Markstrom struggled to remain in the league before he was about 26, after a couple of false starts.
The Panthers had him playing games at about 23-24 and it just wasn't working at all. That's why I worry about Daws playing a bunch of games (particularly in 21-22 as opposed to last year) too early. I think Fleury suffered from that early on in his career too.
