He is 232-191-67 with 32 shutouts, a ⁠2.88 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage in 539 career games (492 starts) with ⁠the ‌Toronto Maple Leafs, San ⁠Jose Sharks, Florida Panthers, ​Carolina ‌Hurricanes, Detroit Red Wings, ​Anaheim Ducks, ⁠Buffalo Sabres and Senators. He was selected by the Maple Leafs in the fourth round of the 2006 NHL Draft.
