He hasn\u2019t played every day, isn\u2019t playing top-six minutes, or being used on the power play like he was in juniors, but has put in a lot of work with his character, work ethic, and care as a first-year pro, according to his Head Coach, Andrew Lord, after the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou saw the shots tonight, but his play away from the puck has dramatically improved here over the season. I think that\u2019s a testament to the effort he puts in. Whenever you have a great guy like that with his character, work ethic, and care, you want to see him get rewarded,\u201d said Lord.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A lil special somethin\u2019 for
