Kevin Westgarth has played in six games this year. He has really not done much to impress anyone in that time.

Westgarth is not expected to score. His role on this team is to be an enforcer. He was traded to Carolina to fight, hit, and get under the skin of opposing players. He has not done this in the month of October.

Westgarth has not fought anyone this year, and he hasn’t done much to get under the skin of opposition. He has not done anything to help the team through one month.

Just to be clear, I don’t expect him to get any points. I expect him to get into the head of players and be physical. He has not done much of either of those things.
