Probably can attributed that as a young man finding his way in the NHL and then getting injured early in the season. Tentative with the phsyical play because he was gaining confidence, yet also worried about getting re-injured at the same time.
As was mentioned, since he has been working on his strength you can likely see him being more physically involved.
