Poirier drives all over the offensive zone in search of goals, positioning himself at the far-post for backdoor plays and jumping on rebounds in front of the net. He instinctively knows when and where a scoring chance will arise and how to seize them all. He can fire in the middle of steps on the rush, directly off passes with a catch-and-release motion or with a blazing one-timer. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
