Pitner’s focus on honing the details of defence is visible every game. Sound positioning, perfectly timed pokes, overpowering physicality, and sneaky tie-ups make him a strong defender in every facet. Off the rush, he locks opponents to the outside by aggressively taking the middle, then slingshotting across for the stop. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
