Punishing and assertive, opponents know when Sarkenov steps on the ice. He lines them up for big hits, relentlessly battles them down low, and occasionally beats them with a quick move. When he gets a bit of space, he’s a powerful and precise shooter, putting his full weight behind his shot. And he flashes some playmaking in open ice. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
