One of the major disappointments from this season has been the play of goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen who saw a drastic dip in a number of statistics from last season. In 2023-24 he posted a save percentage of .910 and goals against average of 2.57 while this season those numbers were .886 and 3.20. Adams however is not ready to turn the page on Luukkonen. “ I still firmly believe that Luukkonen can be a top 15 goalie, I have no doubt in my mind. Is there areas of his game to clean up a little bit and things to work on in the Summer, sure but the other part is we have to be better in front of him.”
