Moving through pass receptions, Zellers heavily relies on the space that he opens to create advantages. He incorporates weight shifts and stutter steps and can handle the puck in large and small-ice scenarios. Attacking defenders across their backs, the 5-foot-11 forward targets defensive triangles, popping pucks through defenders’ legs, and even adjusts his rush patterns to get to the inside of the ice. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
