Subject
Technical
This endpoint provides projected and starting goaltenders for NHL games. Approximately 24 hours before face-off, this feed will indicate the projected starting goaltenders. These projections will be monitored throughout the day as news & information are made public that affect the projections. On gameday, as soon as possible after starting goaltenders are officially confirmed for a team, this feed will be updated accordingly with the confirmed starting goaltenders and the confirmed flag will flip to true.

Operational
The data operations team monitors credible and trustworthy sources throughout the day and will confirm a goalkeeper as the starter once it is announced by the team, beat reporters, or other verifiable sources. This can happen anytime from the night before the game throughout the day of the game, but is typically announced 15 min before the game at the latest. In some rare edge cases, a goaltender can be confirmed and then subject to a late change or get scratched. We will monitor this news up until puck drop and update the goaltender to reflect the new starter.
