Scouting Report
Enjoyed a solid start to his NHL career after success at the AHL level, where he won the Calder Cup in 2019. Is very athletic. Reads plays well and usually seems to be a step ahead of the shooter. His 6'0" frame is not ideal in a league that values bigger goaltenders, and he also needs to get stronger. Still has to prove that his early success was no fluke and that he can carry a starter's load over time at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Athletic, effective goaltender with some upside.
