Kurth’s a skilled shooter, slicing through defenders before firing a quick-release wrister. He masks his shots by shooting out of a quick series of stickhandles or changing the angle. Well-timed dashes to the net-front and sneaking away from defenders on the weak side complement his off-the-pass shooting skill. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
