He's got some interesting tools. His release looked nice as he was able to get his shot off quickly when he was entering the zone and tried to surprise the goalie with a fast shot upstairs. His stride doesn't extend properly, but he's still able to generate solid speed through time. Kiviniemi looked physically strong for this league. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
