Evan Gardner Facts
- NHL Rights
Columbus Blue Jackets / Signed
On his skates, Gardner is great at staying square, even when the shooter changes their angle off the rush. He makes tons of micro-adjustments with his feet, and displays a lot of patience for a young goalie. He moves even better while down in the butterfly, with excellent usage of his posts to add to his explosiveness. He seals the post while down in reverse-VH especially well, and is rarely beaten by low-danger sharp angle shots. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
