Lundqvist joined Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, Patrick Roy, Tony Esposito, Glenn Hall, Curtis Joseph, Ed Belfour, John Vanbiesbrouck, Gump Worsley, Grant Fuhr, Gilles Meloche, Sean Burke, Jacques Plante, and Nikolai Khabibulin as the only goalies with at least 20,000 saves. Among them, they have won the Vezina Trophy 27 times and seven of the 12 eligible players are in the Hockey Hockey Hall of Fame.
But how does Lundqvist rank among the 15?
In terms of goals-against average, his 2.33 ranks second to Brodeur (2.24), and it takes five decimal places to break the tie for first in save percentage, which Jacques Plante holds over Lundqvist, .91965 to .91958. This does not include Plante's play from 1952--55, which is prior data being kept.
Statistically, the comparisons aren't entirely fair, because these goalies played in different eras, with different rules, number of teams, equipment, and at a time when goals were scored at different rates. An average of 5.06 goals per game were scored in 1955-56, which rose to 8.02 in 1981-82, went down to 5.24 in 2001-02, and up to 6.02 so far in 2017-18.
