No Goalie Injuries - when playing every game

I don't know if this is just my experience with NHL 25 or every other NHL game going back a few console generations. I honestly can't remember a time when a goalie got hurt in a game I was playing ever.

I play only the NHL portion of it - I have not lowered any sliders for injury occurrence or frequency. My team on a whole gets a normal amount of injuries but goalies do not get any injured when you play each game. There is no issue when simming any of it ( I know this due to simming of the AHL team games while playing the NHL games - AHL goalies will get hurt). 

Would it be because there is no in-game physics or coding for them to actually get hurt, as typically there has to be some form of contact (hit or hit by puck) to cause a player injury? If so, what logic is used when simming to cause injuries to happen, unless you sim goalies getting body checked in games?

EA_AljoIs there any insight you can find out about this?

    This has been the case for a very long time. Bug never fixed.

      The thing is, I'm starting to wonder if its not even a bug and just how the game is programmed and set up to play.

        VIdeo Game Community Logic, call everything a "bug" if they dont understand it. Its most likely programmed not to have goalie injuries.
