NHL action in 2025-26: He has been appearing for Ottawa in the NHL with a notable number of appearances in the latter part of the season, posting typical veteran-level numbers for a depth goaltender (examples include a sub-.900 save percentage and a few wins in a limited sample). This suggests he remains in the mix for rotation depth, particularly as a veteran presence behind the primary starter. [FOX Sports and CBS Sports summaries from April 2026]
