Daws made nine saves in his Jets debut Thursday. He allowed one goal in a 6-4 loss to the Lightning.
The Peg is a tough place for Daws to try to take the next step in his game. The Jets are 0-5-2 in their past seven. At the same time, Stuart Skinner is inked through this season and next, leaving the crease wide open in 2028-29. Daws looked decent Thursday, so this could be a slow and steady process. Short term, he's a risk behind a team that can't find a way to win.
