Philadelphia Flyers / Unsigned- Highlights
1
Proactive and calculated, Gard gets above the puck, guides attacks to the outside, clamps down on sticks, and supports down low. In the rare instance he’s not already positioned perfectly, his open-ice speed and reach propel him back into the play. And he’s just as effective on the forecheck, combining these same skills with physicality. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
