Nolan Ritchie

He applies intense pressure on the backcheck and forecheck, rips away possession when possible, comes across the hips and seals off the puck carrier’s route. High DZ motor, coming low to disrupt plays, closing out on potential shooters, and anticipating the next play. Offensively, Ritchie’s a deceptive shooter with projectable form, supported by off-puck instincts and patience around the net. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
