Battled injury in (22/23) - played only 32 games - posting 3.16 GAA and .901 save %
The previous season he played 64 games and posted 2.72 GAA and .915%
Big body - competes - has the ability to steal a game - tasked with having to make more 'Grade A' stops than other starters in the league due to the, at times, poor defending group in front of him (especially on the penalty kill) - Having said that, his job is to stop the puck -
Butterfly/Hybrid style - sits tall when down - moves well laterally and has length to make desperate stops - good gloves - plays the puck well - rebound control has room for more consistency - Has #1A upside but his GAA has to improve by 0.5 and save % has to eclipse .920 to move into that category
