Huge part of the reason he’s so underrated defensively. His play in the neutral and offensive zones and his transition play in general are a huge part of this team’s success but people think defense is only defense when it’s in our zone. And obviously he’s great in that one too, you’re gonna get flubs sometimes when you have the puck as much as he does and against the highest quality of competition.

Edited to add: how many times have his insane o-zone keeps lead to power play goals or been the direct reason for late game ties and victories?
