Cody Hodgson is turning the conversation about his ice time into one about his candidacy for National Hockey League rookie of the year.
When Jeff Tambellini opted to put his NHL career on hold and head to Europe to play hockey for ZSC Zurich of the top Swiss League, he was not expecting to be vying for the yellow helmet.
