Last Season
Forty-seven appearances, 11-27-5, a 3.70 goals-against average and a .8755 save percentage, no shutouts.
That is the second-lowest figure of any goaltender in the league who appeared forty times, behind only Jordan Binnington.
His career figure across 210 games is .8980.
Over his last ten appearances, .868 on 302 shots.
The Physical Game
Six foot two, 190, and an orthodox, positionally sound goaltender without a standout tool. He is square and quiet and does not steal games.
Rebound control is the weakest part, and behind a defence that concedes what this one concedes, second chances are most of the workload.
The Mental Game
Undrafted out of Finland, he took until 26 to hold an NHL job and had one genuinely good season in Vancouver two years ago that earned him this contract.
Eleven wins in forty-seven appearances is a hard year by any measure.
The Intangibles
Vancouver conceded 210 goals at five-on-five, the most in the league, against an expected 193.9 — its goaltending finished sixteen goals worse than the chances it faced.
The chances were terrible and the goaltending made them worse. All three men who played twenty or more games finished under .895: Lankinen .8755, Tolopilo .8814, Demko .8949.
He is 31, and a 3.70 goals-against average is the number this club has to fix before anything else on the roster matters.
