Zion Nybeck Facts

Player Type: PlaymakerTwo-Way Forward
Drafted: 2020 round 4 #115 overall by Carolina Hurricanes
Agency: Premium

He's patient with the puck on his stick, willing to out-wait the opposition if that's what's necessary to open a passing lane. Nybeck generates a ton of power on his wrist shot, very quickly, and sends it on net with pinpoint precision. His shot placement is advanced, often aiming for rebounds if there aren't any clear openings. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide

Brothers: Carl Nybeck, Chris Nybeck
