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

3-6-0 with a .9083, a 3.49 average and no shutouts in 9 games at 22, facing 327 shots.

Nine games is nine games. It leaves him at a career .9122 across 10 games, which is the best rate of any goaltender on this roster and means very little.

The Physical Game

6-0 and 188, and he is small for the modern position. He plays aggressively, meeting the shooter at the top of the crease, because at that size there is no alternative — a goaltender who sits deep at six feet is simply a smaller target.

The technique is exact and the glove is quick. The rebound control is the thing that will decide whether he holds a job, and there is not enough evidence yet to say which way.

The Mental Game

Ten NHL games at 22, on a club that finished twenty-ninth, after three seasons in the American league.

Nothing here is a verdict on anything.

The Intangibles

Undrafted, out of Barrie in the junior league, and 10 NHL games at 23.

An undrafted six-foot goaltender reaching the NHL at all is a long shot twice over, and on a club with two goaltenders in front of him who have both been exactly average, there is a genuine opening.
