I would have given him more games/minutes but Sutter obviously wasn't that impressed.

Arguably throwing him out with a guy like Backlund who typically faces top competition might not be ideal either. I have no idea how that game went TBH. His fancy stats weren't great, but the sample size is way too small to pay attention to that.
he did get a 2nd unit PP shift and his line scored.
It's funny though - his previous call up was 2020-21 and he did play with Lucic and Ruzicka, plus one shift with Backlund and Nordstrom. And his stats were good.
