JAY BEAGLE WSH

Beagle had some of the league’s most extreme defense-heavy usage, which included 2:31 of shorthanded ice time per game, placing him among the top 10 forwards. Winning defensive draws is a crucial part of penalty killing, and Beagle won more shorthanded faceoffs than anyone else in the league.
