He engages with the net-front defender, establishes body position, and then pushes off just as a puck comes near. From there, he spins around and fires, hammers away, and occasionally shows some deft in-tight handling skill. Even if Duke can’t find space, he still finds a way to deflect the puck or whack away. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
