Matvei Babenko Facts
Player Type
Heavy ShooterPhysical Forward
The shooting and handling skills are Babenko’s greatest assets. His wristers have a ton of power behind them, but he also has some finesse as a shooter, flashing competent in-stride and curl-and-drag releases that give him a variety of ways to beat goalies. Especially for a player his size, he can also surprise you with nifty dekes around defenders that allow him to get to the inside off the cycle. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
