| Mental Toughness |
|---|
|
Fernandez rebounded from an off year to play consistently and confidently this season.
|
| Glove Hand |
|---|
|
He has a quick glove hand on shots off the angle. In close, Fernandez becomes more of a shot blocker, relying less on reflexes and more on positioning.
|
| Stick |
|---|
|
Fernandez has good fundamentals in all aspects. He likes to get out and play the puck, but like most things in the Wild's system, Fernandez errs on the side of conservatism.
|
| Pads |
|---|
|
He has one of the most perfectly formed V's in the business. His technique, mechanics and fundamentals in taking away the bottom portion of the net are all outstanding.
|
| Style |
|---|
|
Fernandez is a classic V-styler, who keeps everything tight and compact. There are no holes in his setup.
|
| Intangible |
|---|
|
Mentally, a platoon system seems to suit Fernandez. Can it work in the playoffs, though? That remains to be seen.
