The center is at 32 points, 114 shots on net, 33 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 33 contests this season, pacing at just under a point-per-game as he has for each of the last two campaigns.

The 29-year-old remains in a second-line role, where he’s earned 28 points, 129 shots on net, 67 hits, 41 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 38 appearances this season.
