Wins 53% of his draws
Matches up against top opponents every night. No easy shifts. Only 123 shots on goal. More of a distributor than shooter generally.
Mid-range bump to his game. Absorbs contact. Works to extend plays. Smart in all three zones. Solid skater.
Not a pure #1 center. A high end #2 when the Canadiens turn the corner as a group and become a playoff team.
Leads by example.
