Eric Comrie
Winnipeg Jets Goaltender
A .9141 in 20 games from a career .8984, and the smallest possible sample of the best crease in hockey.

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
9-10-1 in 20 games with a .9141, a 2.39 average and 2 shutouts, facing 547 shots.
It is comfortably the best full season of his career and it came behind the club that suppressed chances 8th-best in the league. A backup’s .9141 in twenty games behind that defence is a solid result rather than a discovery.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 190 and small for the modern position, which means the technique has to be exact and mostly is. He plays a conventional depth and he is square more often than not.
The rebound control is the weakness and it has been at every stop — a career .8984 across 77 games says the second chance goes to the wrong place too often. The lateral recovery is quick, which is the compensation a goaltender this size needs.
The Mental Game
He has been an NHL goaltender for nine seasons and has 77 games in them. He went 2-7 with an .874 in Buffalo two years ago and was out of a job, came back here, and posted the best numbers of his life.
He is 30 and the job is twenty starts behind the reigning Hart Trophy winner, which is the narrowest role in hockey and he has now done it well twice.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick of Winnipeg in 2013 — 59th overall — and 77 games across four organisations, most of them here.
He is 30 and the son of a hockey family. He has spent his career being the man who plays when Connor Hellebuyck does not, which last season was nineteen times.
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.
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.
