There’s never taking a shift off, and then there’s Brennan Ali. Every second of every shift, he’s working. He sprints for every loose puck, applies non-stop pressure, and throws himself into the puck carrier. Where many players, justifiably, coast, he keeps his foot on the gas pedal for the chance that he could impact the play. He finishes every off-puck route, backing off defenders and creating space behind him. Second and third efforts win battles, and then he looks to the net. He also has moments of creativity, like a give-and-go, cutback into a net drive, or delay before passing to the trailer. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
