It's interesting to watch the smaller smart defenders engage the bigger players. They can defend them but need to keep their feet moving even in close quarters so the bigger guy cannot lock them up and push them away. They sort of have to pick their spots. Lane Hutson has to do the same thing and it's a learned skill for these guys. It's good to see the smaller defender still has a role in the NHL.On that marathon shift when they were hemmed in, he was battling net front with a dude who is 6'5 232 and was holding his own... and as you mentioned it wasn't due to him or Luke that they couldn't get it out
