Most shots in a shut out

[Aslam Siddiqui]

What's the record for most shots on goal without scoring one? By a team and by a player? Thanks in advance.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Hasek has a 70 save shutout in the 1994 playoffs. That is the most I'm aware of.

Hasek had 70 in a playoff game.
Scrivens had 59 in the regular season.

Ovechkin once had 15 shots on goal without scoring.

Washington Capitals - Detroit Red Wings - November 10th, 2015

I think that's the most in the regular season. Not sure about the playoffs.

Ron Tugnutt let in a few (? - not sure) playing for the Nordique against The Bruins, but faced 70+ shots back in the day. Best single game performance I've seen from a goalie. Ray Bourque skated over and congratulated him as you just had to tip your hat to that. Was just a shooting gallery all game but he was dialed in. 10 bell chance after 10 bell chance. I think Bourque had nearly 20 shots himself that game.

edit: just looked it up and yep, as good as I remembered. Right down the wire and Ray Bourque wiring a slapshot to the top corner unconstested from the slot and Tugnutt ripped out the glove with only a few seconds left.
Not a shutout though.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Esposito and Ovechkin both had 15

Playoffs is less, Bobby Smith, Ovechkin and Fedorov with 13

Playoffs is Hasek with 70 (opponents were the 94 Devils)

Regular season is Ben Scrivens with 59 (opponent was the 2013/14 Sharks)

That’s beyond insane.

 

[Alwalys]

i wonder if 59 in 3 periods is more or less impressive than 70 in 6.25 periods?

that scrivens game was insane. he was under absolute seige

I was at that game. It was insane! Brodeur had over 50 saves as well though most weren't as difficult as some of the saves Hasek had.

 

[oXo Cube]

The Sharks legitimately should have scored 12 goals in that Scrivens game.

Far as I'm concerned it's the best single game goalie performance that has ever happened.

That's a great question. I feel like the degree of difficulty has to have been higher facing ~20 shots a period than ~10, but the mental and physical stamina needed to maintain a shutout for 6+ periods really can't be overlooked.

Plus it was game 6 and an elimination game for Buffalo which ramps up the intensity.

then again 1994 was the start of the dead puck era and there was a dropoff in goalscoring that year.

I think Hasek was the reason for the drop in goals scored!! LOL

 

[StoneHands]

This thread is the antithesis of when the Islanders out shot the Red Wings 49-16 and still lost 8-4. Jeff Hackett allowed 8 goals on 16 shots and never got yanked despite still being in the game late in the second period when Hackett had already allowed 4 goals on his first 7 or 8 shots against if I remember correctly.

 

[Doctor No]

Here's a list that I've put together that will be useful here:
Which goaltenders have recorded shutouts with at least fifty saves?

I'm aware of ten 50+ save regular-season NHL shutouts, with four additional in the playoffs (90 is the known record). Five more in the AHL (all regular season).

 

[Doctor No]

Double-checking to see if I need to add any to the list, I definitely do - Spencer Martin's 68-save effort in the AHL back in January. Box score:

This one is nuts.

I remember watching this game

 

[HansonBro]

This thread had me thinking of Guslevskis vs Canada. Shutout or not a $55k goalie vs $130million team Canada. Awesome performance

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Ben Scrivens

 

[Kcoyote3]

Watching that game was the worst

Thank you to all who replied.

 

[TheForsbergShow]

I won tickets to that Scrivens game, was such a ridiculous performance. I still have the ticket stub from it as well.

 

[Rowlet]

not exactly what the title asks for, but the Canucks beat the Stars in 7 games in the 2007 playoffs. Marty Turco had 3 shutouts that series but they still lost, making it the first time (and I think only time) that's happened.
