Selected to USHL Combine -- 2015
Plucinski defends so well through the neutral zone. Maintains a consistent gap, times his contact well, and provides obstruction on defensive zone retrievals for his pairing partner. Processed developing pressure well with the puck on his stick and consistently solved his problems with smart, decisive plays to lead an outlet. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
