Mike Babcock on Travis Dermott’s chances at a full-time job: “The guys that play the best get to play”

On returning from the week off:

Babcock: We’ve got six games in the next 10 nights before we get another break, so obviously, we need to get focused. Since Christmas, we’re .500. That’s not good enough, so we’ve got to find a way to be better. I think we talked about that. We tried to address some of our needs, and then we need to get playing.

What have you seen from Morgan Rielly’s first half of the season that has allowed him to be more productive offensively than he’s maybe been in the past?
