Watson scored a goal in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah.
Scouting Report
The definition of a role-playing forward, he is big and strong, skates well and is a reliable two-way presence. He has never been much of a scorer at the NHL level; he lacks the natural offensive instincts that would enable him to play further up in the lineup.
Long Range Potential: Big depth winger.
