Zakary Lavoie

He projects as an NHL-calibre shooter with a powerful one-timer and the know-how to get open. And just when the defenders are convinced a shot’s coming, he turns the shot into a pass. Along the boards, he combines body positioning with backhand passing skill to connect with teammates in the slot. Even with a defender leaning on him, his hands and creative solutions carve through pressure and create opportunities. In flashes, he fakes the outside dash, then cuts to the inside. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
