Comments: Physical D who is strong 1v1 with gap and strong stick. Skates well and able to make strong first pass out of zone. Also has good offensive skills as he found space in high slot and scored with very accurate and quick release shot. Communicates well with D partner and makes himself available when needed in a jam. Was very good all game and noticeable against high end talent.
