Sergei Skvortsov

Scouting Notes

Thought he looked pretty comfortable given that it was his first KHL game. Really like how he attacked the play with his speed. Wasn't timid at all and took defenders head-on as the puck carrier. Good intensity on the forecheck - he went to the dirty areas expecting to come out with the puck, and often times he did. The strength is the obvious area of improvement - he needs to put on weight and only time will correct that - so let's get that out of the way but acknowledge he did a good job of working around it here. Can tell he sees the game offensively very naturally. The best part about his goal wasn't even the goal itself, but that play started by him picking up a turnover just inside the offensive blueline and making a quick pass to his teammate in the middle of the ice, and then he didn't stop his pursuit and picked up the loose puck again behind the net before finishing on a bit of a lucky break. A very solid start to the season for Skvortsov.
