He looked a bit lost out there on most of his shifts, but that's to be expected coming from college straight to the NHL with only one practice to get ready. Skating looked awkward, but he arrived at the front of the net at the right time on at least two occasions. His chance in the first was excellent and obviously getting a goal in his first game is great.
He looked really big out there, but he needs to start finishing his checks next game. Hopefully he can be a net front presence similar to what Moss was, but more durable and, once he gets comfortable, more physical.
