GAA is the average goals a goalie allows per full game.

The math behind it

GAA = goals allowed × game length ÷ minutes played. Lower is better; elite NHL goalies sit near 2.0–2.5.

45 goals over 1500 minutes → GAA 1.80.

GAA vs save percentage?

GAA depends on shot volume; save percentage measures pure stopping ability.
