Obviously, starting with the puck is a huge thing and getting those clears on the penalty kill. It's huge to get those opportunities and I'm very grateful for it. I'll do whatever I can to help the team out when I get those opportunities."
"The way I've always played is taking pride in that 200-foot style of play," Reschny said. "That means playing as hard as I can in the defensive zone, making sure we're not getting scored upon before going to score goals."

He sounds like a coach's dream. If you play a 200 foot game, your offensive production will benefit just by playing less in your own zone, plus the coach will trust you with more ice-time. It's the NHL mindset that a lot of young players don't adopt for a while.
