Fischer's a steady defensive presence, bringing a tight gap, proactive threat elimination, and physicality. He leverages his frame to ride guys out while defending the rush. He doesn't fall for slips or dangles, and rubs guys out before making a simple but effective exit pass. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
