Still, the fact the defenseman was able to get back onto the ice is certainly a step in the right direction.

After flashing some intriguing upside, with nine goals and 18 points in 63 games last season, the 27-year-old has become a force in 2023-24. He has generated eight goals and 16 points in 33 appearances.
