Joël Genazzi Facts

Agency: Premium

An offensive defenseman with good size and strength. Joel Genazzi competes hard for the puck along the boards and in front of his net. He is a powerful skater, who stands strong on his skates and is hard to knock off balance. Possesses good offensive instincts, as he used to play as a forward and thus loves to jump into the offense and support the forwards. He tends to pinch too often, as he usually makes the step forward instead of securing the defense and gets into trouble. Genazzi has a booming shot and is a valuable option for the power play unit.
