There were 24 goalies chosen in the 2024 NHL Draft, including five in the second round: Ilya Nabokov to the Colorado Avalanche (No. 38), Mikhail Yegorov (New Jersey Devils, No. 49), Carter George (Los Angeles Kings, No. 57), Evan Gardner (Columbus Blue Jackets, No. 60), and Eemil Vinni (Edmonton Oilers, No. 64).

To break down many of the top-eligible North American goalies in the 2025 draft, here are five questions with Jensen:

This seems to be a good year for draft-eligible goalies. How do you feel about the class?

"There are quite a few goalies that are going to have a chance to play in the NHL someday. Entering the season I wasn't sure, but as the season wore on and especially in the second half, I could see some good quality goalies. I like the list that we put together."
