Connor Clifton strutting versatility on the farm
A skilled, puck-moving defenseman is something the Bruins organization has long coveted. Torey Krug and Charlie McAvoy are a pair of examples that toned their puck-moving skills in Providence before making the jump to Boston. Connor Clifton, another offensive-minded defenseman, hopes to follow in their footsteps.
With three goals and ten assists in 30 games this season, Clifton fits the puck-moving mold. His skillset gives the P-Bruins a chance to score every time he touches the ice.
“I think it’s about timing,” Clifton said about his offensive prowess. “You don’t want to be running all over the ice. I’m a defenseman first, but there’s a time and place to join the rush.”
