The formula
HDSV% = saves on high-danger shots ÷ high-danger shots faced
Worked example
Of 30 shots faced, 10 come from the slot and the goalie stops 8: HDSV% = 80%. His overall 93% SV% hides that the other 20 shots were routine.
Measuring it only requires logging the zone of each shot faced during the game. RinkLog does it with one tap on the rink map and computes HDSV% automatically, with a shot heat map showing where the goalie excels and where he gets beaten.
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.

Frequently asked questions
What is HDSV%?
HDSV% (high-danger save percentage) is the save percentage computed only on high-danger shots, the ones from the slot, point-blank or off odd-man rushes. It isolates a goalie's performance on the toughest chances instead of averaging them in with routine shots.
How is HDSV% different from overall SV%?
Overall SV% includes every shot faced, easy and hard alike, so a goalie behind a strong defense can post a high SV% while rarely being tested. HDSV% strips out the easy shots and shows performance only on the shots that actually threaten to score.
