Always in motion, Gorzynski is either first to the puck or immediately pressuring the puck carrier. With direct routes and physicality, he forces panic in opponents, punishes them, and wins possession. He skates every route with speed, knocking away sticks and colliding with opponents to create space for his teammates, and he’s always mucking it up around the net. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
