He can split defenders, attack triangles, and work inside to attack the crease in tight. Lacroix possesses some defensive value as well, both from his high in-zone pressure pushing and anticipation within passing and shooting lanes. He's a hard worker, keen on attacking puck-retrieving defenders on the forecheck. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
