Quick check: Called up late in the season, responded with points in 5 of his 7 regular-season games. Quick and slick with the puck, he’ll eventually run the power play. Fighting a knee injury.

Coach’s comment: “A guy we depend on to move the puck.

He’s a good puck handler with a good shot from the point. He gets it to the net and on net. Has the ability to create offense from the defensive position.”
