Playing Style and Strengths
A heady off-puck defender, the Bulldogs winger keeps his head on a swivel during defensive sequences and never loses his man. An advanced understanding of defensive rotations and switches also helps in this regard. Better still, he couples those defensive instincts with a high work rate and a knack for playing the body to round out his defensive profile.
