Appearance move to sidebar hide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Statistic in hockey, baseball, and lacrosse For the pitching statistic in baseball, see Save percentage (baseball).

Save percentage (often known by such symbols as SV%, SVS%, SVP, PCT) is a statistic in various goal-scoring sports that track saves as a statistic.

In ice hockey and lacrosse and association football, it is a statistic that represents the percentage of shots on goal a goaltender stops. It is calculated by dividing the number of saves by the total number of shots on goal.[1][2]

Although the statistic is a percentage, it is often given as a decimal in North America, in the same way as a batting average in baseball. Thus, .933 means a goaltender saved 93.3 percent of all shots they faced. In international ice hockey, such as the IIHF World Championships, a save percentage is expressed as a true percentage, such as 90.5%.[3]
