Spencer Martin was selected by the Colorado Avalanche in the third round, second pick, of the 2013 NHL Draft — a long road that would eventually take the Oakville, Ontario native through several organizations before he found his footing at the NHL level.

The 6'3" left-catching goaltender entered the 2021–22 season fifth on the Vancouver Canucks' depth chart. By the end of it, he had earned the backup role behind Thatcher Demko. [1] details his work that summer with then-Canucks goaltending development coach Curtis Sanford, who put Martin through a series of drills combining post entries and exits with reverse tracking on plays behind the net. The drill footage, captured in August 2022, shows Martin using short shuffles to work back toward his goal line — a technique preferred by Canucks goalie coach Ian Clark because it allows goalies to maintain their angle and squareness while retreating, compared to c-cuts or gliding straight back.

InGoal Magazine has covered Spencer Martin in one podcast appearance and one drill breakdown. The podcast appearance came in January 2022 on InGoal Radio Episode 153 [2], hosted by Kevin Woodley.

Martin carries a career NHL record of 25 wins, 33 losses, and 8 overtime losses across 72 games played, with a career goals-against average of 3.60 and a save percentage of .881, along with 1 shutout. He currently wears number 41 for the New York Rangers. Through six games of the 2025–26 season, he has gone 1–3–0 with a 4.13 goals-against average and a .864 save percentage over 290:39 of ice time.
