He sprints up the ice to chase loose pucks, and races down it to pressure the puck carrier. He gives himself a chance on every puck because he refuses to take his foot off the gas. He's surprisingly adept at handling the puck in small spaces and creating space for himself. In moments, he uses those handling skills to freeze defenders with a fake, before passing to an open teammate. Without the puck, he sprints his routes to back off defenders, creating space behind him. The give-and-go and flashes of shooting skill also popped up this season. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
