Miko Matikka has the size and the range to keep up with opponents and plaster them to the boards when the opportunity presents itself, but there’s so much more to his game than just that. He’s a crafty passer, capable of dishing equally well with his forehand and backhand, under sticks and around opponents. Mattika creates mostly through his hands, dangling his way past defenders on a game-to-game basis. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
