That's the best way to describe Coyotes forward Lauri Korpikoski, who has eight points in his past eight games, including two goals in Saturday's game against the San Jose Sharks. His underlying value comes from playing in all situations.

"Probably the greatest thing about Korpy is every day he's striving to get better," coach Dave Tippett said. "He wants to be a top NHL player, and he has all the capabilities of doing that, and he continues to grow with our group.

"He's gone from two years ago we weren't sure what we had to a very good player that impacts a lot of parts of the game.""
