Nurmi's game is all about the hustle and the energy. He brings it on the forecheck. He gets on opponents and makes them lose the puck and he consistently drives the middle in possession. Has good off-puck instincts, mostly when he is driving the weak side to the net, spacing and timing so that he could become a cross-ice passing option at the right time. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
