The AI is not very good at building rosters and very bad at picking specifically goalies, and in addition to that, it seems to have incorrect values assigned to the "backup" and "starting" supplementary roles when it comes to actually fielding goalies - it assigns the role correctly when signing players, but understands it incorrectly. Hence, there is a harcoded "magic" to keep scoring averages "realistic". Result = good goalies underperform, bad ones overperform. Best to keep average or slightly under average goalies in your roster and ignore the shenaningans of the AI led teams. I tend to not look at their stats at all for my sanity since I've seen a 7-9 goalie be the best in a league with 13-13 average rating a couple saves back.
