Playing in LA (22/23) he was used primarily in a 4th line depth role - averaged 10:05 TOI - ES and PK - did not have a role on the PP - provides some push back - had 80 hits and 34 shot blocks in limited minutes
Sneaky pace in open ice - has a good release / can sneak pucks past goalies from distance
Good size / when he establishes himself around the crease he can shield defenders / not easy to defend - wins the majority of his face-offs (54.59%)
Brings character - compete - he's low maintenance and just scratching the surface of what he can provide overall
Could end up surprising with more offense if given more opportunity - monitor his detail at times on the defensive side of the play / there are instances he ends up above his man in his zone / making it difficult to regain positioning and defend properly
