When the puck’s in enemy hands, he eliminates off-puck threats, applies non-stop pressure, and anticipates passes. After winning possession, Szturc usually knows the next play. If nothing’s open, he cuts back along the boards until a low-risk option appears. The off-puck instincts also serve Szturc’s shot – his best tool. He pushes his hands away from his body, elevates his elbow, and creates downforce by dropping his centre of gravity to the ice. That also allows him to occasionally pull pucks around defenders and shoot in one motion. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
