Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Projection: Second Pair
Trending: Flat
Plays hard minutes at ES and on the PK. Not used on the PP. Active on the PK. Rotates into lanes. Closes quickly in small areas. Battles. This is a player who compliments a more active partner at ES. He can be relied upon to take care of things on the defensive side while his partner is rushing the puck or involved offensively. He's not a simple stay at home 'D' however as he will occasionally pinch down or look to slide back door as an option. Reliable puck plays / outlets
