"He played great. If you're going to circle guys that brought it tonight, he was definitely one of them."
"He's a worker. He just does what he's asked, and he doesn't try to come outside of his game plan, he doesn't manufacture things that aren't there. He gets a game plan in front of him, and he executes it, but he executes it with - he wins his puck battles, he's always in the right spots, and he's earning his ice time. He earned it tonight, and if he keeps doing this, he's gonna get more in the future."
0 shot he is in the top 6 this year. at best he gets 3rd line timeDaily face off has him slotted at 2nd line RW, is this accurate? If so, is he capable of retaining that role?

He did practice there, but they’ve been trying a few guys out there including Sheary and Atkinson. He hasn’t shown much offensive ability in the NHL so far so it’s doubtful he sticks, but we’ll see what happens with the lineup once the games startDaily face off has him slotted at 2nd line RW, is this accurate? If so, is he capable of retaining that role?
"He's got an NHL shot. Big time NHL shot. It's heavy, it hurts. He just needs to learn the way you score in practice, you have to translate that to a game. He's a puck battle winner. You get him in a 50-50 and he wins. He's heavy, he goes to dirty areas. All stuff I really like."
