A tenacious and speedy forward who caught my eye time and again throughout the event, Desjardins packs a ton of energy in his game and is quite consistent on a shift-to-shift basis. He’s consistently looking to get pucks behind defenders so he could utilize his speed to win foot races and establish possession in the offensive zone. He even flashed some confidence with the puck to take defenders on one on one at times, pulling off between the leg moves and feints to the inside through a stick check that got him a look from in tight. Desjardins had moments of shrewd distributing off the rush as well, opting to attack the middle of the ice to draw pressure before dropping the puck back to a trailing option in space. There were times where I thought he over relied on his speed and edgework to get him out of situations which lead to some turnovers, but overall it was a good performance.
