He arguably had one turnover in the D zone last game, but it was more on the D and Ritchie. But he won a fair number of puck battles, stopped a number of plays in the D and NZs, covered for pinching D, and normally got the puck out, only to see Gaudreau pass to Ritchie up ice, who then lost it.
My argument is that Sutter likes him in the D zone. And my argument is that he likely likes his game a lot more than what he’s seen out of Johnny.
