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.

    I'm more inclined to think that they don't have any concept on how they could program it (in game play), as it is programmed to have goalie injuries when games are simmed. So they do exist and can happen but due to how they programmed the gameplay (playing experience relating to injuries), there is no way for a goalie to get hurt (unless you determine getting hit by a hard shot would do it, as per other injuries that can happen to forwards or defense.
