Hertl faceoff dip with VGK?

[jd2665]

Hertl just played his first game with Vegas, playing on the LW. He took 9 of his shifts 20 faceoffs attempts, winning 6.

Hertl was a faceoff monster when he was playing C for SJ. Should we expect a dip now that he is on the wing or do you think VGK will still utilize his faceoff skills at or near his old levels regardless of what position he lines up?

I doubt he plays wing long term. Easing him in to the lineup. He was already taking a bunch of key draws last night.

its first game after long absence...relax a bit on judgment. He is excellent faceoff taker, while he may take few less with better teammates capable of taking some as well, i don't think you should panic.
