Yes, his defense is superb. Easy to see why he was viewed as one of, if not the best defensive defenseman in the draft.
He looked much better offensively against Canada but hey, it's only 1 period into the official tournament so I'm sure he'll be much better in that aspect as the tournament goes on.
But considering he's there purely for his defense, definitely happy with how he's performed in his end.
