George Hainsworth career stats, while I was checking out the career shutout leaders in the NHL in my game I noticed Hainsworth is 2nd all-time behind Brodeur when, in fact, Terry Sawchuk is 2nd all-time in shutouts and the only other goaltender besides Brodeur to have 100 or more shutouts in NHL history.

It seems Hainsworth is being credited for 3 NHL seasons at the beginning of his career that weren't actually played in the NHL but rather played in the Western Hockey League as a member of the Saskatoon Crescents/Sheiks. Obviously those 3 seasons shouldn't count towards his career NHL totals.

I attached his official stats from the NHL's website as well as his stats from leagues outside of the NHL from hockeyreference.com as a reference to the 3 seasons (1923-24, 1924-25, 1925-26) in the WHL that he's being incorrectly credited for as NHL stats.
