Sexton does it simple but the right way

I’m currently ill so I wasn't gonna write much. But gotta mention Dan Sexton. I was impressed with him already in preseason and I think he could be a top six winger on this team for years to come. His two goals against Dallas the other night was huge. However, he’s small and quite bad defensively at this point in his career. His two goals might tell you he was better than he actually was.

Not to take credit away from him, because he certainly did well considering it was only his 3rd career NHL game. But my point is, the thing he did so well is actually very simple - he would shoot the puck. How often don't we get to hear the same answer in any intermission interview? “We have to get some more pucks on net”. Well Dan Sexton did just that last night, he was willing to shoot the puck from any position. Which when he didn’t score himself, more often than not created rebound chances for his linemates. He had impressively 9 shots on Marty Turco the other night, a new Ducks rookie single-game record.
