Scouting Report

Assets
  • Plays with both poise and passion between the pipes. Can make a spectacular save look routine. Can fill in as a starting goalie in a pinch.
Flaws
  • Has problems with long shots on occasion. Isn't durable enough to play 60-plus games in the National Hockey League.
Career Potential
  • Backup goaltender.
