Has never been a fast skater. He has average pace for the NHL game.
What he has in spades is high end hockey sense. He recognizes how plays are developing. Goes to the net looking for tips and rebounds. Battles for space along the boards and in the trenches. Great mitts. Especially in tight quarters. Quick release.
Minutes at ES are trending down overall but he remains a dangerous threat to score.
