Analysis:
The rookie blueliner made a significant offensive impact opposite the Panthers in the quarterfinals, notching one goal and a pair of helpers. He missed Game 1 of the second round, but reportedly traveled with the team to Tampa Bay ahead of that contest, suggesting that he might not be far away from a return to game action.
