Scouting Report
Showed an excellent glove hand and a lot of persistence in the crease area. Was a hard worker and displayed the ability to bounce back from adversity. Could take over No. 1 duties from time to time. Didn't handle the pressure of playing major minutes well and generally lacked consistency in his game (especially when made the starter). He was also prone to prolonged slumps at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Quality backup goaltender.
