7 Devon Toews D

Toews scored a power-play goal and blocked six shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Kings.

Toews got it done at both ends of the ice, converting on a Samuel Girard pass for the Avalanche's second goal. The six blocked shots allowed Toews to lead the team in that metric, making life a little easier for goalie Philipp Grubauer. The 26-year-old Toews has been everything the Avalanche could have asked for, as he has three points in as many games to go with nine blocks this year. He's also locked in as a top-pairing defenseman with a plus-2 rating.

Toews was acquired by the Avs via trade for a pair of second-round picks and has now signed a long-term extension. In 68 appearances for the Isles, the 26-year-old blueliner set personal bests in goals (six), assists (22) and power-play points (six). With Cale Makar holding down a spot with the No. 1 unit, Toews may be hard-pressed to secure regular minutes with the man advantage over the likes of Samuel Girard.

This Islanders future on defense looks bright with Noah Dobson, Ryan Pulock, and Toews leading the way.
