Evangelista's a playmaker with a knack for hitting teammates in space. Whether he's on backhand or forehand, with three defenders in between or none, he finds ways to get the puck to his teammates. He turns would-be shots against into takeaways with decisive challenges. A defensive problem-solver, he diffuses tricky situations with a shocking amount of ease. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
