Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is extremely big for the goaltending position and covers a lot of net when in the crease, thanks to uncanny flexibility and lightning-fast reflexes. Never quits on a play, and can be spectacular when he has to be. Works hard at constantly improving his game.
Flaws
  • Can wear down if overworked, and occasionally surrender an uncharacteristically bad goal, so he needs to be rested from time to time at the National Hockey League level.
Career Potential
  • Elite starting goaltender.
  • Awards2010NHL - Second All-Star Team
