McDonough takes advantage of passive defenders by cutting inside, blending the cut with the weight transfer for the shot. Against better defenders, he slows down, inviting them, then passes to an open teammate. If they get too close, he turns back, throws a reverse hit, and starts the cycle. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
