Liam Dower-Nilsson Facts

Player Type: Offensive CenterPlaymaker
Drafted: 2021 round 5 #134 overall by Detroit Red Wings
Agency: Premium

He is a playmaker, a passer, a set-up man, the player who feeds you the puck through three layers of defence right on your tape at the goal-mouth and the quarterback of your power play. Dower-Nilsson never reveals the position of his intended outlet. He scans the ice once to locate it and then looks away, only tracking its progress in his peripheral vision. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide

- Brother: Noah Dower Nilsson
Uncle: Lenny Dower

A smart two-way pivot who makes excellent reads in all three zones.
