Constant motion allows Mateychuk to break from his team's structure in the offensive zone and seek opportunities that just aren't there for other defencemen. He prods for soft ice, finds it, and times his entrance into that space at the best possible moment for a shooting opportunity or a chance to hit his teammate elsewhere with a perfectly weighted pass for a chance of their own. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide

He’s always up in the play, and when he gets the puck, few defensemen create more opportunities. He’s a confident, aggressive defender, too
