Through 52 games, not only does he already have a career-high in goals (4) and assists (11), but it seems like he lands a big hit almost every night. Averaging 18:25 per game, Clifton has also collected a total of 143 hits, which is 22nd in the NHL.
Nothing changed Tuesday night either, as he caught Stars forward Ty Dellandrea with a massive hit in the corner, right as the second period expired. See below:
At 5'11'' and 194 pounds, you could argue that Clifton is one of, if not the best hitter in the league, pound-for-pound at least.
