Defensively
- Always in great position defending the rush, but makes zone entries pretty easy. Would really benefit from a Kronwall type partner.
- His breakout is basically a chip along the side walls. He'll rarely if ever make bad turnovers through the slot but he'll rarely if ever make great breakout passes through the slot.
- Brilliant skater, both backwards and forwards. Good PKer for that reason, he wins foot races. On the rare occasion he decides to go coast-to-coast he can bring a smile to your face with his speed, but that's not really his game.
- Not very strong, but he does battle.
- He blocks more shot attempts than other guys do. I believe it was posted elsewhere that he blocks ~15% of shot attempts whereas most guys block ~10%.
Will stand up for teammates:
Offensively, he's a smart player and he's good a good wrister, but don't expect him to QB your power play or get dozens of shots on net, that's not his game. He uses his edgework mostly to dump the puck into the corners under pressure. He's the equivalent of a 10 goal scoring Dman.
