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
36 games, 14-16-2 with an .8990 and a 2.85, 2 shutouts, facing 941 shots.
That is the third straight season in Seattle below .900, and the best of the three. Of the 53 goaltenders who played twenty-five games he ranked eighteenth by save percentage, on the club with the eighth-fewest expected goals against per 60 in the league.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 188.
He is small and quick for the modern position and covers net by reading the play early rather than by taking up space, which means everything depends on being in the right place before the shot rather than reacting to it. When the read is wrong there is not enough of him to make up for it.
The Mental Game
A career .9105 across 344 games with 22 shutouts.
He was above .9150 in each of his first nine seasons and has not been above .8990 in any of his three in Seattle, behind a club that is genuinely good at suppressing chances. He is 32 and the pattern is now longer than the peak was.
The Intangibles
One hundred and twelfth overall in 2010 by Washington, twelve seasons, three organisations, and 344 games.
158 career wins and 22 shutouts. He was a fourth-round pick who spent six seasons in Washington without playing more than 35 games in any of them, and then won 30 in a season in Colorado at 29.
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.
“When the read is wrong there is not enough of him to make up for it.”
