He was the starting goaltender for the Eastern Conference team at the AHL All-Star Classic in January. He was named the CCM/AHL Rookie of the Month for the month of March. He finished the season on a winning streak that brought his win total to 37 wins, which tied him with John Grahame for the Providence club record for most wins in a season. He was also awarded the AHL award for Outstanding Goaltender in the league - the Baz Bastien Award.

Unfortunately, his performance in the playoffs did not hold up. He was pulled in the first game of the playoffs and ultimately the last game of the playoffs in which they lost in game seven to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Although the losses were not his fault, it was slightly disappointing that he was unable to steal games and raise his game to the same level as he did in the regular season the way he had previously. He stole a lot of games for the defensively weak team over the course of the regular season.
