Socks Learning the Ropes

[fishy 1,757]

Matty Socks has been working hard on the ice and carrying his end to support the Las Vegas Aces on the second one of defense. Though he hasn't been making game-changing moves, he has been making steady contributions that have been beneficial to the Aces and their record. 

 

Socks has been making solid progress in his goal assists. Taking after the first line of wings and defensemen, Socks is fifth on the team in goal assists. It's apparent that he's been putting in the time to learn how to be a strong teammate, thinking more about how to get the wins than making the goals himself. 

 

With a fluctuating plus/minus, however, Socks shows room for improvement on the defensive end. Socks is sitting at a 19 in the +/- aspect right now; although he's doing well in comparison to the other rookies on the team, he has a lot of work to do if he wants to keep up with the veterans on the team. Matty Socks will need to up his defensive game to keep teams from scoring while he's on the ice, making sure that he covers his zone.
