Nabokov doesn’t achieve success by simply filling the net. He is proactive and confident in the crease, taking away space from shooters by making explosive pushes and getting set immediately. His details on the post are strong, he has a very solid hinge to stay on angle, and he simply understands how to utilize reverse-VH in a way that works for him. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
