A .8885 in 20 games in Toronto, on a career .9093 across 295 — and the club he joins finished 27th in goaltending.

This Season So Far

The 2022-23 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

20 games, 12-6-0, a .8885 save percentage and a 3.34 goals-against average for Toronto, with no shutouts on 520 shots faced. He arrived here in the summer.

Twelve wins in twenty games at a .8885 is the shape of a season on a very good team, and Toronto took 54 per cent of the chances at five-on-five.

Twenty games is the fewest of his last eight seasons.

The Physical Game

6-2 and 192, and he is an aggressive, athletic goaltender who challenges out and plays the puck — one of the more active stickhandlers at the position, which on a club that will be defending a great deal is worth something.

That style is unforgiving when the legs are not right, because a goaltender who starts outside his crease has further to travel back into it.

Ten seasons and 295 games, a career .9093 with 24 shutouts. The .8885 is 21 points below it.

The Mental Game

Four clubs in ten years, and a record that has swung between a .9228 in Carolina and a .8885 in Toronto in the space of two seasons.

Nothing measured here separates the swing from the teams, and the honest reading of a goaltender with 8,000 career shots is that the .9093 is the man and the seasons are the clubs.

The Intangibles

One hundred and forty-first overall in 2010 by Detroit, fifth round, and 295 NHL games at 30.

Chicago’s goaltending finished 24.9 goals below the chances it faced, 27th in the league, and the three men who produced it are all gone. He arrives as the starter on a club that is not trying to win, which is the least enviable job in the position.

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.

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.
