The story
Villalta allowed 8.9 goals more than the shots he faced were worth — 16th of 19 in goals saved above expected, 16th of 19 in save percentage.
The split matters: 9th of 19 on high-danger shots but 17th of 19 on low-danger ones.
On rebounds he was 1st of 19: 4.0% of high-danger saves gave up another attempt inside three seconds.
Against the league
Each bar is a percentile against the 19 goalies with at least 15 games. The tick is the league median. Metrics where less is better are flipped, so longer is always better.
Where he was beaten
Goals allowed less the goals those shots were worth, by where they came from. Red is ice he was beaten from more often than the chances warranted; green is ice he shut down. It sums to his goals saved above expected.
Shots faced, against the league
Every goaltender faces the same slot-heavy map, so this draws only the difference: warm is where he faced more shots than a typical goalie would across the same workload, cool is where he faced fewer. It is a picture of the defence in front of him as much as of him.

A save “leaks” when the shooting club gets another attempt within three seconds. The high-danger split separates goaltenders the overall rate does not.
