Jack O'Brien Facts
He’s a slight forward who possesses the puck protection mechanics of professional players, opening up his stance, extending his knee to prevent opponents from accessing the disc, and leaning on them, getting on his outside edge to cut them at the hands and slip by them. With pressure on his back, O’Brien started give-and-goes, connected with teammates lurking backdoor, and drove the net. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
