get_goalie_stats

Goalie leaderboard sorted by save%, GAA, GSAX or wins, with high-danger save%, recent form and rest days.

When to use it

You want to rank goalies across the league or within a team. GSAX (goals saved above expected) is the advanced metric that tells you who's actually good versus who plays behind a strong defense.

Parameters

team	string	no	Filter by team abbreviation
season	string	no	Season (e.g. "20252026")
min_games	integer	no	Minimum games played (default 10)
sort_by	string	no	save_pct, gaa, gsax, or wins
limit	integer	no	Max results (1-50, default 20)
