Veteran 2-way 'D' who is deployed at ES and PK
Keeps his game relatively simple.
Outlets effectively. Pinches down occasionally to extend plays in the offensive zone.
Closes on opponents in his zone. Finishes his checks. Blocks shots on the PK.
Leans third pairing but can slide in to second pairing if required.
Like any NHL defenceman, he's at his best when he plays with poise and doesn't run out of his way to finish a check or chase gaps.
