The Kalajoki native helped the team find the back of the net 44 times in his first season in Florida in 2014-15, with eight goals and 36 assists and a 4.7 xGAR. He was slightly above average offensively at five-vs-five, and provided a good defensive presence at even-strength and on the penalty kill.
