Joey Daccord journey to NHL success wasn't at all a smooth ride. Drafted in the late rounds back in 2015, the 199th choice to be exact, he spent years bouncing between the Ottawa Senators and minor league teams, never quite getting a chance to shine.
But then, in 2023-24, everything seemed to work. Daccord found himself with the Seattle Kraken, and suddenly, he started making headlines and playing really well. Despite his limited experience, he stepped up when needed, proving himself as a reliable goalie in the league.
For Daccord, it was more than just stats on a page, it was validation. After years of hard work and setbacks, he finally got his moment to shine on the NHL stage and finished top-6 in goals against.
