This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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
32-13-5 in 50 games with a .9064, a 2.47 average and 4 shutouts, facing 1,293 shots.
The club’s goaltending came in 3.2 goals better than the chances faced, 15th in the league — dead average, behind the 10th-best chance suppression in hockey. A .9064 and 32 wins is a solid season and it is not the reason this club won 110 points.
The Physical Game
6-4 and 222 and he plays deep and large. He sets at the top of the crease, he is square almost without exception, and the frame takes the top of the net away without him having to move for it.
The rebound control is good for a goaltender built this way, which is the thing that usually goes wrong at that size. The lateral recovery is the cost and it is a real one. He handles the puck adequately.
The Mental Game
He took over a Stanley Cup run in 2023 after two goaltenders ahead of him were hurt, and went 11-4 with a .932. Nothing before that had suggested he was capable of it and nothing since has taken it away.
He has never played more than 50 games in a season and has been hurt in most of them. He is 29 and the club has never asked him to carry sixty starts.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick of Arizona in 2015 and 186 games with a career .9088 across three organisations.
He is 29. Ilya Samsonov played 29 games and is off the roster, which leaves a 25-year-old Swiss backup with 48 career games behind him.
What kind of player
The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.

Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.
