The Season Outlook For Jonathan Ericsson
from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
2018-19 outlook: Ericsson, for the second year in a row, played well at the start of the season. After Danny DeKeyser was injured in the fourth game, Ericsson joined Trevor Daley to form the team's top defense pairing. Daley's mobility complemented Ericsson, and they were a good match the first half.
But Ericsson didn't maintain that consistency, which has been an issue. The message from coaches has been to hold onto the puck a little longer, utilize his big frame to protect the puck and move his feet while passing. Otherwise, he's prone to turnovers and getting caught flat-footed and out of position.
