Ask the book

2026-27 edition Ask a direct question about this edition of the book — who, how many, how common, which group more — and it is answered with a table computed on this page from the edition’s index: the season line, height and age, the on-ice percentiles, the grades and the traits read out of every report. Ask for a view on named players — what a comparison comes down to, what makes a man — and you get the book’s reading of their own pages, and only those. The model turns your question into a query and phrases the result, or reads the pages it is handed; it never originates a figure, and an answer carrying a figure that is on neither the table nor the pages is withheld. It does not forecast, and it says so when a question is outside what the book holds.

Tables are computed on this page from the 2026-27 edition’s index; readings rest on the players’ own pages; the model never counts. Twenty questions an hour.

This Season So Far

The 2026-27 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.

Last Season

27 appearances, 10-9-6, a 3.04 goals-against average and a .8705 save percentage with 1 shutout.

That is the third-lowest figure of any goaltender in the league who appeared 20 times.

His career figure across 213 games is .9047, with 106 wins.

Over his last 10 appearances, .879 on 224 shots.

The Physical Game

6-4, 222, and a large, positionally sound goaltender who plays deep and covers net rather than moving to it. When he is square he is very difficult to beat clean.

The lateral recovery is the weak point and it has got slower. Rebound control is ordinary.

The Mental Game

He won a Stanley Cup as an emergency starter 3 seasons ago and was excellent doing it, which is the reason this club has kept handing him the net.

10 wins in 27 appearances behind the team described below is a hard thing to explain any other way.

The Intangibles

This is the page that explains Vegas. The club finished 53.4 per cent in expected goals and allowed only 153 expected goals against — the fifth-fewest in the league.

It conceded 175. Its goaltending came in 22 goals worse than the chances it faced, second-worst in the league.

3 goaltenders played 8 games or more and stopped .8705, .8910 and .8730. Not one reached .900 behind one of the 5 best defensive teams in the National Hockey League.

He is 30, and there is no other conclusion available: this is a Stanley Cup roster with a crease that lost it 22 goals.
