Some may consider this a hot take but P.K. Subban is a world class two way defenseman. He proves it night in and night out by shutting down top competition and keeping the puck out of his zone. There are a few different “schools of shutting down forwards”. One is the Dan Girardi school of giving up the blue line to block a shot, another is the Mattias Ekholm pinch in the neutral zone that relies heavily on positioning. The kind that Subban employs is a quick and uptempo style. The absolutely wonderful described the Nashville Predators defense to a tee, “puck comes in, puck comes out”.
