In praise of Lewis

In contrast to Teddy Purcell, there’s Trevor Lewis. Called up from Manchester last week, Lewis played his first NHL game Friday against Buffalo in a fourth-line role. The next day, against Detroit, he played on the first line and scored his first goal. Here’s what Terry Murray said about Lewis’ start in the NHL…

MURRAY: “I liked a lot what he showed here. His game has been elevated since training camp. He has speed and skill and he has a real good head on his shoulders about his game and his responsibilities. He seemed to fit in on that line. Is it a result of adrenaline and the opportunity he’s getting right now? We’ll see. Time can only answer that question, but he brings skill and speed and a lot of good things to the game.”
