Additionally, he set a career-high 44 saves in the opening round game against eight-seeded Merrimack that was quickly broken again in the Hockey East semifinals with 57 saves against two-seeded and No. 4 Maine.

The sophomore goaltender finished his collegiate career appearing in 70 games. His .914 save percentage and a 2.68 goals against average finished tied for fifth and seventh overall, respectively, in program history. His five career shutouts also rank tied for sixth, while his 30 career wins rank tied for tenth among all Husky goaltenders.
 
Whitehead also tied the program record for shutouts by a freshman in a single-season after totaling 22 saves against Merrimack for his fourth shutout in the 2023-24 season.
