No games in 2025-26. The season above is the last one he played, and everything on this page should be read with that gap in it.

This Season So Far

The 2026-27 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.

2024-25

10 appearances, 3-4-3, a 2.89 goals-against average and a .8893 save percentage. He did not appear in the NHL last season.

His career figure across 621 games is .9156, which is among the best of any goaltender in this book.

The Physical Game

6-2, 201, and for most of a long career an unusually athletic goaltender — he made saves from positions that should not have been recoverable, and the flexibility was the whole of it.

That is the part that goes first. A back injury took most of 2 seasons and there is no recent evidence of what remains.

The Mental Game

17 seasons, 289 wins, and a long stretch as one of the more consistently underrated goaltenders in the league. He has been a starter, a tandem partner and an injured reserve without visible complaint.

The Intangibles

There is nothing measurable to report from last season because there was no last season.

He is 38, and the Islanders have Sorokin — whose goaltending came in 20 goals better than the chances faced — and Vanecek at .8834. A third goaltender at 38 coming off a lost year is organisational depth rather than a plan.

621 games at .9156 is the career. Whether there is another game in it is genuinely unknown, and this page will not pretend otherwise.
