A long-time mainstay at Minnesota United, St. Clair brings shot-stopping quality and the kind of form that keeps the goalkeeping debate very much alive for Jesse Marsch. See where he fits in our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/canada-world-cup-profile\/\">Canada World Cup 2026 profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Minnesota United&#8217;s number one<\/h2>\n<p>St. Clair developed into one of the most reliable goalkeepers in MLS at Minnesota United, where he was a near ever-present and earned a reputation as an elite shot-stopper. He has since moved on to Inter Miami, taking his game to one of the league&#8217;s highest-profile clubs. The table below covers his main club spells in our database.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Club<\/th><th>Starts<\/th><th>Saves<\/th><th>Clean sheets<\/th><th>Goals conceded<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Minnesota United<\/strong><\/td><td>140<\/td><td>443<\/td><td>33<\/td><td>191<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Inter Miami<\/strong><\/td><td>14<\/td><td>41<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>28<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n<h2>What the numbers say<\/h2>\n<p>St. Clair&#8217;s Minnesota record is the body of work of a top goalkeeper: 443 saves and 33 clean sheets across 140 starts, plus five penalty saves, the profile of a keeper who regularly bails out his defence. His shot-stopping is his strength, and his distribution suits a side that wants to play out from the back. On form alone, he has a strong case for the gloves.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Dayne St. Clair and Canada<\/h2>\n<p>For Canada, St. Clair is right in the mix for the number one shirt. Cr&eacute;peau started the opener, but the gap between Canada&#8217;s goalkeepers is slim, and St. Clair&#8217;s MLS form means he is one selection call away from stepping in. Either way, Marsch has genuine quality and competition in the position. For the full picture, see our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/canada-mens-national-soccer-team-players\/\">Canada men&#8217;s national soccer team players<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Canada 1-1 Bosnia and what is next<\/h2>\n<p>St. Clair was on the bench for the opener as <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/maxime-crepeau\/\">Maxime Cr&eacute;peau<\/a> kept goal in the 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina at BMO Field. See how the team rated in our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/canada-vs-bosnia-player-ratings\/\">Canada vs Bosnia player ratings<\/a>.

At Minnesota United he attempted 52 sweeper actions outside his area and completed 48 of them &mdash; a 92 per cent success rate that lets Canada defend with a high line. He is just as busy with the ball at his feet, racking up 1,087 goal-kick restarts and 529 throws to launch attacks, exactly the distribution profile a possession side wants from its keeper.<\/p>\n<p>From the penalty spot he is a genuine specialist: he faced 14 spot kicks at Minnesota and saved five, a 36 per cent stop rate that towers over the league norm. His shot-stopping reaches well beyond the box, too &mdash; of his 443 Minnesota saves, 160 came from outside the area, and he produced 180 diving saves and parries while keeping a clean sheet in roughly one in four of his 140 starts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-stc1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who is Dayne St. Clair?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Dayne St. Clair is a Canadian goalkeeper and one of the top shot-stoppers in MLS.
