A late-blooming, undrafted forward, he did not begin his collegiate career until he was 20 but has parleyed grit and a willingness to do the dirty work teams need into an NHL opportunity. He is a big, annoying forechecker who will get to the front of the net and screen netminders. He gets into passing lanes well, is adept at forcing turnovers and can kill penalties. | |
Long Range Potential: | Gritty depth forward. |
