Off to a slow start compared to the standard he set last season.
Averaging 18:51 TOI - 13:09 ES - 3:12 PP - 2:30 PK
Elite shooter. First glance is generally to direct pucks on net. Lethal from the weak side / back door seem on the PP.
Good skater for his stature. Difficult to defend with his length and range. When he boxes out an opponent it's nearly impossible for them to get inside position, and take away his stick, due to his size.
On the penalty-kill, much of his impact starts in the face-off circle. When he struggles to win draws he's an average defender on and off the puck in his zone.
Not overly physical. Blocks shots occasionally. Element is offense.
