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
8 games, 4-1-2, a .8701 save percentage and a 3.16 goals-against average with 1 shutout on 177 shots faced.
A shutout and a .8701 in the same eight games, which is what eight games tells you. He had gone 24-6-3 for this club the season before at .9029.
The Physical Game
He is 6-4 and 205 and plays a square, deep game that relies on size rather than movement.
Three career shutouts in 76 games. He is not quick across the crease and the second shot beats him more often than it should. The puck-handling is ordinary and he keeps it simple.
The Mental Game
He tracks the puck through screens reasonably and does not panic when the front of the net fills.
A career .8988 across 76 games in six seasons, most of them as somebody’s third option. He has been recalled and returned enough times to have stopped minding.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, out of North Pole, Alaska, six seasons across three organisations, and 44 wins in 76 games.
He is 32 and third on the depth chart. The 24-win season two years ago is the high-water mark and this is a goaltender the club would rather not have to play.
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.

- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.
