He made his professional debut on October 18th in a 4-2 setback at the Adirondack Flames and earned his first professional win with a 36-save shutout in a 4-0 triumph over the Worcester Sharks on November 21st. The 6'6", 220-pound netminder recorded a season-high 44 saves in a 2-1 shootout victory over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on December 13th and earned another shutout win just six days later with a 32-save blanking of the Hershey Bears on December 19th.
