Projected top 2026 draft pick Keaton Verhoeff explains how he's thriving at NCAA level

"Big two-way defenceman," Verhoeff said. "I like defending. I take pride in my defensive zone, hard on guys in the D-zone. Then getting up the ice, I'm kinda able to transition the puck pretty quickly I think. Using my size and my shot in the offensive zone to create time and space and create some passing lanes and be able to wire the puck."

The 22-year-old backstop took over the role from former NHLer Spencer Martin, who recently left CSKA after losing the starting job, signing with the NY Rangers, and is currently playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Canucks finding out what Maple Leafs already knew about David Kampf

Kampf was a serviceable piece for Toronto during the height of the Core Four era. Kampf was part of the replaceable depth pieces that supported the big guns. However, Kampf's role on the team gradually diminished as his limited scoring vaporized, and his defensive play didn't warrant a lineup spot. The situation came to a head this season when Kampf didn't even make it out of training camp.

Rangers owe Jonathan Quick an apology after loss to Mammoth, losing streak hits 4 | amNewYork

This season, it's been No B.S. The only member of the New York Rangers who adhered to the latter motto in the club's 3-2 road loss to the Utah Mammoth on Saturday night was goaltender Jonathan Quick. Quick turned aside 31 of the 34 shots he faced, ending with a .912 save percentage. And the three goals that evaded him were hardly his fault. All came off either a broken play or a giveaway, more indicative of disjointed team play.

"That we're defending as a five-man unit a lot better than we have been. We have numbers around the puck, and we are breaking pucks out easier. We are not stretched out. We are connected in the zones. That's what I see. In the neutral zone, we have done a pretty good job with our defending. Offensively, we have done a pretty good job of creating chances. I liked our power play; it created some opportunities that didn't go in."
