During the season he received parallel first appearances in the National Hockey League and stood there for twelve games in the goal of the Maple Leafs. Due to the lockout in the NHL, he began the 2012/13 season again with the Marlies, before moving permanently to the Maple Leafs squad at the start of the season in the NHL. There he came as a substitute goalkeeper behind James Reimer in a total of 20 games and recorded four wins, including two shutouts .
