Brandon Lisowsky is a winger who possesses that natural goal-scoring ability. He’s that rare breed whose hands and feet are able to keep up with how quickly he’s able to process the game when the puck is on his stick. He’s got a heavy and accurate wrist shot, and is capable of unloading it off either foot which allows him to catch goalies off guard. He’s also able to change his release with a nifty curl-and-drag motion that can surprise. He’s a determined offensive player that, despite his size, likes to take to the puck to the front of the net and slot to create better scoring chances for himself. He uses his offensive instincts and quick-twitch movements well to identify small open areas between defenders and is able to burst to those spots. When he doesn’t have the puck in the offensive zone, you can again find him in the high-danger areas, making himself an option for teammates or anticipating potential rebound plays to clean up. He is also a puck hound on the forecheck. He gets on defenders fast and with a purpose, often using his body to cut off their stick from the puck so he can strip them. Although his calling card isn’t defense, he won’t hurt his team in that aspect. He has the defensive awareness to do his job, the only issue that arises sometimes is he can get outmuscled along his wall when he doesn’t get a clean pass. His size will most definitely give pause to some teams come draft day. That said, he’s willing to finish his check on a defender when he’s the first man in on the forecheck — so the willingness is there. The team that selects him will do so with the hopes he can continue to develop and play an offensive middle-six role and also adds another option to one of their power play units.
