Observations:

February 2013 – Driedger has been one of the steadiest WHL goalies through the 2012-13 season. He has a 28-13-1-2 record with a 2.46 GAA and a 0.917 SV%. After he struggled in the playoffs last year, Driedger will have to prove he can come through in clutch situations. Zenon Herasymiuk

November 2012 – Driedger is a well-rounded goaltender prospect with a ton of upside. He is calm and composed in net, rarely ever scrambling in his crease. His style is a mirror image of Vancouver Canucks goalie Cory Schneider. He has been thrust into a full-time starter’s role with the Calgary Hitmen and has been solid. He has a 2.33 GAA and a 0.922 SV%. His record sits at 12-3-1-1. The Sens have a very good young goalie in Driedger, but like most goalie prospects, he has a lot of fine tuning and development ahead of him before he is considered for NHL action. He is at least 3-4 years out at this point.

Fantasy Outlook: B-

Good upside goaltender who has everything you look for in a young goalie. Will need to prove he can perform in big games.
