Scouting Report
Is a great competitor and will never give up on a shot. Never gets too high or too low, either. Can step in at a moment's notice and give his team a winning effort. He has the kind of size NHL teams want in their goalkeepers, and is very athletic with fine lateral movement. He is becoming more consistent as he becomes more accustomed to the smaller NHL rinks.
Long Range Potential: Depth goaltender.
