Adam Evanoff has been a bit busier than usual over the past few weeks.

The rookie netminder has started three out of the Moose Jaw Warriors’ last four games, including Saturday’s 4-1 win over the Prince George Cougars.

“I feel like the more I’m in there, the more comfortable I feel, so it’s always good to get in the net and I’m just taking every chance that they give me and running with it,” said Evanoff after practice on Tuesday.

Evanoff, 17, has been stellar in the back-up role for the Warriors this season. He’s lost just twice in 14 games, while posting a 2.40 goals against average and a 0.917 save percentage.

His strong play has given the Warriors’ confidence in whoever is between the pipes. Evanoff said he’s pleased with how he’s progressed over the course of his rookie season.

“It’s a big credit to Matt Weninger, he prepares me for every game I play and I know I’ve come a long way from the start of the year and I feel like every game I play, the better I get,” said Evanoff.

“We work a lot on tracking, that helps you control your rebounds and limit the opportunities that the other team gets.”

Evanoff added that Weninger will give him some tips heading into a game and then they go over video after each start to see where he needs to improve his game. He said that’s been a big change from midget AAA.

“I had great coaching in midget, but here is next level and there’s more attention to detail,” said Evanoff.

“The more you play, the more comfortable that you get in the net (at the WHL level) and the team has done a great job by giving me the chances that I’ve had.”

The Penticton, B.C. product said that he approaches every game day like he’s the starter and is ready to go every time.

“Even if I’m not getting the start, I come to the rink ready to play, you never know when you’re going to have to go in there and I know (Brody Willms) does the same thing,” said Evanoff.

“Brody is one of my best buddies on the team, he helps me every single day and gives me as many pointers as he can.”

Evanoff turned away 22 shots to lift the Warriors to Saturday’s win over Prince George, which snapped a two-game losing skid for Moose Jaw. He said the team is putting in some good work this week to solidify their game after a slight dip in play.

“We’re all buying in and getting back to what we’ve been doing all year long and you can expect two big games from us this weekend,” said Evanoff.

The Warriors return to the ice coming up on Friday when they host the Lethbridge Hurricanes. They will then face the Kootenay Ice on Saturday at Mosaic Place.
