Fifty-fifty battles have hardly seemed like ones for freshman forward Carson Dyck as of late.
The Lethbridge, Alberta, native recorded his first career goal in Penn State’s 4-3 loss to Michigan State last Saturday, but while he’s finally gotten the monkey off his back and put a puck in the back of an opposing goalie’s net, Guy Gadowsky said Dyck isn’t a player who he and the coaches judge based on how many points he gets.
Instead, they evaluate him in other areas like the faceoff circle.
“One of the changes we have seen in his game has been the faceoff,” Gadowsky said.
