A very athletic netminder, he is very active in his crease, getting into and out of the butterfly quickly and showing smooth post-to-post movement. However, he’s almost too active, as he sometimes over-commits on plays, forcing himself into bad positions. Technique is still flawed, especially when moving laterally, as holes open in his form. His athleticism helps him make the tough saves and he does a good job squaring his body while in the splits. He uses fundamental positioning to move in his crease and protect his posts. He plays with a calm demeanor and poise, able to leave the last bad goal behind. He likes to play at the top of his crease to take the net away from opponents and uses his quick butterfly to quickly snuff out scoring chances in tight. He reads the play and reacts well and quickly smothers any rebounds or goalmouth scrambles. While he still needs to work on his play in the crease, the good news is that there’s a lot of skill for an NHL goalie coach to work with given his natural size, mental game and athleticism. Being trained at the NTDP is also an asset that could make a difference in his long-term development. He is a competitor and appears willing to put the work in to improve his overall game for the team that takes a chance on him.
