Nine games usually isn’t enough to warrant a full report card, but for Keith Kinkaid, his 9 games represented 16% of the season, and that does warrant a report card. Kinkaid was signed as the third string goalie and, let’s be frank, expansion draft fodder. There’s nothing wrong with that, but keeping expectations within reason was key for Kinkaid. He likely wasn’t going to get as many games as he did, but injuries forced him into a more regular role.
In those nine games, Kinkaid posted a .898 SV% and a 2.59 GAA with one shutout.
