Understanding fantasy hockey goalies requires analyzing the evolution of crease shares in recent seasons, revealing that tandems have become crucial for success. Historically, only a fraction of top-performing goalies maintained a low crease share, but this trend is shifting, especially over the past five years.

As teams prepare for the 2024-25 season, some lean heavily on dual goaltenders, with notable tandems emerging from franchises such as the Boston Bruins, Carolina Hurricanes, and Toronto Maple Leafs. How these teams handle their goaltending situations could greatly impact fantasy league outcomes.
