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
50 games, 19-18-11 with a .9156 and a 2.46, 3 shutouts, facing 1,374 shots.
A 2.46 goals-against average was the sixth-best of any goaltender who played twenty-five games, behind Anthony Stolarz, Pyotr Kochetkov, Sergei Bobrovsky, Connor Hellebuyck and Thatcher Demko. The club’s goaltending came in 9.9 goals better than the chances it faced, ninth in the league, and almost all of that was his.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 201.
He plays a square, quiet game with very little wasted movement in it and gets across the crease without throwing himself at anything. He tracks pucks through screens and controls what comes off him, which on a club that allowed the eighth-fewest chances in the league is exactly the skill the structure was built to reward.
The Mental Game
Three career shutouts, and all three came last season.
He had played 19 NHL games across four seasons before this one and started fifty at 27 without anything visibly changing in how he played. A career .9067 across 69 games is now mostly one very good season, and eleven overtime losses is the record of a goaltender who kept his club in games it had no business being in.
The Intangibles
One hundred and ninety-ninth overall in 2015 by Ottawa, five seasons, two organisations, and 69 games.
He was the 199th man taken in his draft and was born in Boston. Nineteen wins on a club that scored 217 goals is the single most encouraging number in this chapter.
