• Blue Jackets' Evan Gardner: Earns eighth WHL shutout

  Rotowire Oct 12, 2025

  Gardner posted a 32-save shutout in WHL Saskatoon's 3-0 win over Kamloops on Saturday. Gardner earned the eighth shutout of his junior career, which is third-most in Blades history. The 19-year-old netminder inked an entry-level deal with the Blue Jackets in March. He's still a few years away from being a true contender for NHL minutes, but he's had excellent numbers throughout his time in the WHL and is off to a 5-1-0 start with a 1.56 GAA and a .942 save percentage in six games this season.

Gardner is putting together another phenomenal season in the WHL, posting a 22-12-4 record, .911 save percentage and 2.83 GAA. The 19-year-old backstop will likely spend at least another year in juniors before making the jump to the professional ranks, but fantasy players in dynasty formats should be tracking his long-term development.
