This will be the third season as a Condor for Fukufuji, 25. Last season he overcame a shaky start to carry the team into the post season, finishing with a record of 18-18-1, a .500 win percentage on a team that finished the season13 games below .500. His 3.39 goals-against average and .899 save percentage both led the team.

Fukufuji stepped up during the stretch run of last season. His 7-2-0 record during that run was accompanied by a 2.38 GAA and a .930 save percentage, and helped guide the team to a playoff spot.
