Kovacevic produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Scouting Report
The big, late-blooming defenseman has some untapped offensive potential, and his heavy right-handed shot could earn him power-play time eventually. He plays with a physical edge around the net, which should also help him get playing time. He is at his best when he keeps his game simple in the defensive zone.
Long Range Potential: Solid all-around defenseman.
