Scouting Report
The longtime minor-league netminder is a study in perseverance, battling through the ECHL and the American Hockey League to make his NHL debut at age 28. That came after he needed more than a dozen operations on his feet to correct a condition he was born with. His physical talent may be limited but his compete level and work ethic are off the charts.
Long Range Potential: Organizational depth goaltender.
