He spent the 2014-15 season with Charlotte of the American Hockey League and ranked eighth in goals (11), third in assists (19) and tied for fourth in points (30).

He made his NHL debut Dec. 5, 2015 against the Montreal Canadiens and scored his first NHL goal three days later against the Dallas Stars. He soon earned a place on a scoring line alongside Victor Rask and Jeff Skinner and produced seven goals, 10 assists and an even plus-minus rating before an injury ended his season in March.
