The story
Villalta stopped 2.2 goals more than the shots he faced were worth — 29th of 66 in goals saved above expected, 36th of 66 in save percentage.
The split matters: 28th of 66 on high-danger shots but 14th of 66 on low-danger ones.
On rebounds he was 50th of 66: 11.4% of high-danger saves gave up another attempt inside three seconds.
Against the league
Each bar is a percentile against the 66 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.
