"I remember it well because any time you give up four goals to an opponent, it’s hard to forget. To me, the impressive part was we categorize them as all willpower goals. He goes to the dirty areas, the net front, he challenges defensemen to get him boxed out and we didn’t do a very good job that night.

"A guy like that, you’re probably not going to shut him down every night, but you do try to limit the damage he’s going to do to you," Hulton said. "He’s got desire, willpower and the physical wherewithal to get to areas that, quite frankly, a lot of players don’t want to get to on a consistent basis. Every time we play him, we talk about that, we talk about having an awareness when he’s on the net and then particularly for a defenseman, be ready to engage physically to keep him from the front of the net because he’s very driven at what he does to get there.
