Cole Hutson has the 1-on-1 game at the point down to a science. A lateral slide, a hesitation move, and he gets past the first layer of defence. He drives down the faceoff circle, fakes a shot, and sends the perfect cross-ice pass to the talented shooter sitting inside space on the other flank. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
