A smart goalie doesn't leave the crease until their team has gotten out of the D zone cleanly with possession. And some are coached to stay put.
Straight up disrespectful to Delia whacking the crossbar and yelling at him. There's a reason why he hadn't gone to the bench yet.

Knight has all the tools, and I think it's good that he went public with is OCD. He's not the first NHL goalie with it, and he won't be the last.
Too many people assume the Player Assistance Program means booze or drugs. Stop that. Please. And stop joking about OCD.
In an interview with

“I can still be the player I want to be, and I still believe I can be one of the best goalies in this league.”

Matthews averaged 3 seconds of ice time on the penalty kill last year.
Matthew Knies asked how good Auston Matthews is. “Pretty damn good. He’s not just the best goal scorer in the NHL but he plays defense too. He’s kind of the best overall player [in the NHL] in my eyes.”
