Scouting Report
Handled and protected the puck brilliantly, and had a knack for finding open ice. Was solid in the defensive zone and a constant threat on offense. Lethal on the power play, he had innate chemistry with twin brother Henrik. Was not very assertive and did not initiate a lot of contact on the ice. Was not great on the penalty kill, despite sound instincts. Struggled in the shootout, since his one-one-one skills left a little something to be desired. | |
