1965-66 was when the NHL mandated dressing two NHL goalies each game.
You're certain the goalies didn't get a minor injury? My guess is that it's a "stamina" attribute issue with the goalies but I really haven't played many seasons prior to the late 60s expansion yet.

mid-game goalie changes to ONLY be for injury replacements prior to 1942 (not sure where teams started occasionally dressing backups, but it was pretty much unheard of prior to 1942).

Very nice suggestion. Prior to '65-66.
