Nico Daws’ saves at home and away

Against his share of what goalies usually saved against his opponents, Nico Daws was 6.1 saves under at home and 3.6 saves over away in 2026-27, 3 games against 1. The plain averages are 16.3 and 26.0, a difference of 9.7. Both games outside the division were at home.

One game away is one game, not a sample, but maybe you can find something if you squint.

Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed goalies in its other 2026-27 games, plus 0.0 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for goalies that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s goalies’ saves in his games, 100%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 100% of the difference the model predicts.
