He has 12 goals, 32 points, 108 shots on net, 153 hits, 63 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 61 appearances this season.

The winger is up to 10 goals, 29 points (11 on the power play), 80 shots on net, 122 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 47 appearances. A 50-point campaign is within reach if he can limit slumps.

He offers well-rounded production for fantasy managers, and his offense should stay consistent in a top-six role.
