Galchenyuk Gets High Praise from Tavares [Video]
- When the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Alex Galchenyuk, it was an opportunity for the team to help get the player’s career back on track.
- It was also a chance for him to show that he’s still capable of making an impact at the NHL level like he did early on in his career. That was evident in the Maple Leafs 4-3 overtime win against the Edmonton Oilers as he was a major offensive contributor.
- His presence in a middle six role is becoming a key factor as Maple Leafs captain John Tavares had great praise for Galchenyuk and his impact to the team, especially in their comeback win.
- He’s also been noticeable on the forecheck, bringing a strong presence to get into the tough areas and battle in the offensive zone.
