NHL Goalie Summary (Season Range) — nhl_goalie_summary

Aggregator helper that calls nhl_stats_goalies() with report_type = "summary" for every season in [start_season, end_season] and concatenates the results into a single tidy frame. Mirrors the Stats.goalie_stats_summary convenience helper from the nhl-api-py Python client.

Usage

nhl_goalie_summary_range(start_season, end_season, game_type = 2, limit = 50)

Arguments

start_season: Integer four-digit end year of the first season (e.g. 2022 for the 2021-22 season).
end_season: Integer four-digit end year of the final season (inclusive). Must be >= start_season.
game_type: Integer game type: 2 = regular season (default), 3 = playoffs.
limit: Integer maximum number of rows per season request. Defaults to 50 to match nhl_stats_goalies().
