Calgary Flames‘ 2nd round pick int he 2014 draft (#34 overall) rookie goalie Mason McDonald(35) is looking very comfortable in net and off to a hot start on reassignment to Adirondack Thunder.
In 13 ECHL games he has a 8-2-1-2 record with a 2.50 GAA and .902 SV%.
The rangy 6’4″ 200 lbs. back stop was a bit hot and cold through four seasons in the QMJHL, first with Acadie-Bathurst Titan, then Charlottetown Islanders but really found his footing winning a gold medal with the under 18 Team Canada at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup.
Signed to a 3-year entry level deal through 2019 he’s playing at a lower level of hockey than anticipated with the glut of talent in the parent club’s cage, but at the very least has time to develop and despite it being early already showing what he can do.
