His size is a real advantage at the MHL level. Nikishin looks confident with the puck, showing some flashes of puck-moving abilities. He's not shy about stepping up to maintain possession in the offensive zone. He's an eager shooter too, skating into a slap shot whenever the opportunity presents itself. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
