Domenic DiVincentiis is a battler who tracks pucks well through low-danger zones and really buckles down and focuses when the attack enters high-danger territory. He appears calm in the crease and has good edgework and mobility, particularly his lateral movement. He can make a strong push across the crease, arrive early, on angle and square to the puck. He takes away weakside opportunities well, too. He plays his butterfly stance with a really good, tall posture with his weight balanced and a bit of a forward lean to surround pucks. This allows him to find loose pucks around the crease and be ready to make second-chance saves. His rebound control overall is very good, as he can punch pucks away from the net with his blocker or his pads, and anything that hangs around he can find and cover to slow things down. He’s a bit of a leader out there and you can see him talking to his defenders and orchestrating the play. This is perhaps most noticeable in two-on-one situations where the communication between he and his teammates ensures both parties remain on the same page. He will sometimes venture out of his net to play the puck. He skates well enough to be comfortable and safely get out and back, and his ability to move the puck is pretty good. He will mostly just corral it and set it up for his defense, but he can clear the zone or make a pass when the opportunity is there. There are no glaring issues in his play, so if he simply continues to develop he looks like a safe draft selection that has some upside. He also has a chance to leapfrog guys that are currently ahead of him and down the road he may have as much, or more, potential as any goalie in the draft class.
