This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
52 games, 30-20-2 with an .8998 and a 2.90, 2 shutouts, facing 1,477 shots.
The club’s goaltending came in 31.4 goals worse than the chances it faced — the worst figure in this edition — behind the tenth-best chance suppression in the league. The .8998 is the first season below .910 of his career; the nine before it ran between .9102 and .9253.
The Physical Game
He is 6-4 and 223.
He is enormous and plays deep and square, taking away the whole lower half of the net by size and position rather than by moving to meet anything. The push across the crease is still fast for a man that large, and the rebounds go to the corners more often than they sit.
The Mental Game
A career .9167 across 477 games with 293 wins and 34 shutouts.
That is fifth in this edition for career wins and fifth for career save percentage among goaltenders with two hundred games. One season at .8998 against nine above .910 is a data point, not a trend, and thirty wins out of it says he was still winning games he had no business winning.
The Intangibles
Nineteenth overall in 2012 by Tampa Bay, ten seasons, one organisation, and 477 games.
Two hundred and ninety-three career wins against 143 losses. He has played every one of his 477 NHL games for the same club and has been its best player for most of them.
