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

11-7-2 in 24 games with an .8935, a 3.17 average and 3 shutouts, facing 657 shots.

An .8935 is a poor number and 3 shutouts in 24 games is not what a poor number usually looks like. It is a backup at 39 who won more than he lost behind a club that was 28th at suppressing chances, and the shape of it is volatile rather than bad.

The Physical Game

6-1 and 219, and the technique has always been unorthodox and is now more so. He plays deep, he drops early, and he recovers by athleticism rather than by position — which at 39 means a second chance across the crease is a goal more often than it used to be.

The puck-handling is the best on this roster and among the better ones in the league, and it is a genuine tactical asset behind a defence that gets forechecked. The rebound control is the weakness and always has been; pucks come off him into the slot and he relies on getting back across to them.

The Mental Game

Eighteen seasons, three Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe, and a reputation for being at his best when the games matter most.

He is a backup now and has accepted it publicly and without complaint, which is the actual skill in the job. There is no record of him unsettling a room and a long one of him steadying it.

The Intangibles

804 games, 404 wins, 63 shutouts, and a third-round pick who became one of the two or three most decorated American goaltenders in the history of the league.

He is 39 and this is the end of it. 24 starts, a .8935, and a room that wants him in it is what the last year of that looks like, and the club re-signed him knowing exactly which of those three it was buying.
