3G-7A in ten game segment from end of January - Big Ten playoffs in March (2023). Used primarily at even strength and the power-play. He showed he is capable of penalty-killing at the college level this season as well - but has not been used as much in the role in the second half of the season. Big body net front. Finds quiet ice in the deep slot and around opponents net. Hard to defend when he leverages for space / creates screens (etc). His pace is average plus. He rarely transports the puck between the blue lines in transition but has the high end hockey sense to know how to make himself open for his line mates. 2-Way / Power / Top 6 possible
