‘While his role is replaceable, Girgensons is a perfect modern day 4th liner in the NHL. He has great speed, very good defensive ability, and can give you some scoring here and there. He’ll block shots, penalty kill, and can play center if you need him to. Girgensons has been apart of the Sabres penalty kill that has been near the top of the league all year. Paired with Johan Larsson for much of this year, the two don’t score much, but they have good possession stats. It seems like they’re always cycling in the offensive zone, which in a way is really good defense. It rarely becomes a goal, but at least the other team isn’t generating their own chances.’
