If there is an individual tie, the player with the highest average on both shots wins. If there is a team-average tie, each squad receives a goal. This event counts for 50 percent of the overall goaltending competition score. Each team sends six players and three goaltenders. Each goaltender faces two shooters from the other team, one at a time.
Shooters fire five pucks, which are placed in pre-set spots.
They have 12 seconds to get off all shots. Goaltenders must have both skates touching or inside the crease at all times. Each violation costs a goal. Goaltenders who make the most saves earn a goal for their team. A tie results in both teams getting a goal.
