Started the year with injury and missed significant time.
'2-way D'
Big body. Capable distributing outlets from his zone. Uses his length and reach to his advantage defending against the rush and in his zone.

Physical when required. Blocks shots. Match-up 'D' who plays against opponents top six forwards. Average plus skater. Not fast, not slow.
Limited offensively. Looks after his zone as a priority.
