Incredibly, you can actually get career shootout stats on NHL.com

It really is a fact that Luongo is bad at shootouts. He is tied with Kiprosoff for most shootout losses all-time.
There are other "good" goalies that are notoriously bad at shootouts though.
Niklas Backstrom is 15-25.
Tomas Vokoun is 21-26.
Nikolai Khabibulin is 13-22.
Cam Ward is 10-20. |
Are they just considered good due to their team's defensive play around them though? So that when it comes down to a one-vs-one situation, their true skill level comes through? Or do some goalies suck at the shootout because it's just not something they practice for very often?
