His 13-minute ice time per game, coupled with a single assist over nine contests, paints a picture of a player who's earned his shifts through diligent play, not flashy offense. Vilmanis is the kind of grinder who grinds his way into the coach's trust, a foundational piece you watch to see how his quiet contributions build into bigger moments.
