Individual stats

Nugent-Hopkins was an absolute beast in the offensive-zone. He won 26 of 36 offensive-zone puck-battles. The young winger won his battles not with size and strength, but with speed and smarts. He has the innate ability to bring speed to wall battles, without skating himself out of the play. He made solid plays whenever he carried the puck into the offensive-zone, but struggled with neutral-zone puck-battles; losing 9 of 14 NZPBs.
