Declan McDonnell Facts

Drafted: 2020 round 7 #217 overall by Tampa Bay Lightning

On the breakout, he was smooth picking the puck up off the boards and moving his feet to transition. He had good speed through NZ and protected the puck to make the next play. A few times, he was at a bad angle and managed to shoot for a rebound, creating scoring chances in the slot for his teammates. He was right in the middle of things the entire game. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
