The player.
WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
With zero goals through his first 42 NHL games, Daemon Hunt’s game is etched in defensive reliability and the critical, unheralded work of keeping pucks out of his own net. He's a third-pairing workhorse who uses his 6'1" frame to disrupt cycles and clear the crease, making him an invaluable, if quiet, presence in the defensive zone.
