Per Tippett's plan, the right-shooting Hodgson still takes faceoffs on his strong side and assumes the defensive responsibilities of a centre in those situations until he and Kadri can switch.
But not having to worry about the multifaceted, four-corner duties of a centre has freed up Hodgson to think more offensively. Hodgson is scoring on more than just a wing and a prayer. A couple of his goals are on the power play close to the net, and even as Tippett says the year-old is in the right place at the right time, he recognizes there's something to that.
This past NHL season was Hodgson's first as a goal scorer. Not coincidentally it was also the first time he played more than 70 games. Earlier in his career, the Markham, Ont. At this tournament he's injury-free and playing like it. It's nice to be fully healthy and playing again. Hodgson's production may be a bit of a surprise, but Tippett earmarked him as a power-play contributor before making the trip overseas.
On a team with a lot of young, inexperienced players and a few older ones around to show them the way, Hodgson is in the middle as a player with still plenty of potential he has yet to reach.
At this tournament, Hodgson's exceeding at least external expectations, and scoring goals at this level is more than general manager Rob Blake perhaps expected. I know the coaching staff's been real happy with him. Right now he's in that streak. We welcome your comments.
