Would have liked to see him have to make more defensive plays under pressure but he was always first to pucks and moved it quickly and he made it look easier than it is.
He made a bunch of strong transition rushes but it seemed like his teammates weren’t expecting a d-man to be available on the rush so they didn’t make full use of him.
I would say overall positive signs that he can come back in after almost 2 years while barely missing a beat.
