Raivis Ansons Facts

Drafted: 2020 round 5 #149 overall by Pittsburgh Penguins
Agency: Premium

He knows where to skate to continue supporting teammates on the rush. He pressures opponents, wins the puck, and protects it with his frame. Ansons does the little things that star offensive forwards sometimes prefer not doing. He's a trusted penalty killer, always adopts risk-mitigating positioning, and easily switches from one assignment to the other. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
