Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: Finished his junior season at Northeastern with a 25-12-4 record, 2.11 GAA, 3 shutouts, and a .931 save percentage. As a reward for his strong season, Thiessen was nominated for the Hobey Baker Trophy. Once his playoff run was over, Thiessen signed a two-year deal with the Penguins and joined their playoff taxi squad.
Talent Analysis
Thiessen is an athletic goaltender with a good five-hole, vision and solid lateral movement. He has quick feet, and has shown a willingness to challenge shooters. As with most goaltending prospects, Thiessen needs to continue to work on his mechanics and positioning. He could also upgrade his puck-moving abilities although they are fairly good.
Future
Thiessen will start the 2009-10 season with the Penguins AHL or ECHL affiliate.
