MacKinnon defends with a sound skating stance, with good flexion through his body and his weight stacked on one leg or the other. His explosive, balanced, and adaptable posture enables him to adapt to the movements of opposing rushes, close on them, and take away their space with his stick. We also see him pivot to meet the opposing rush with forward strides to gap up with attackers even quicker. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
