Khoury is a slight yet skilled forward who had some impressive flashes throughout camp. He was quick to pounce on loose pucks in the offensive zone, demonstrating the ability to turn his touches into quick scoring chances for his linemates by funneling pucks to the middle of the ice. He had a couple of dazzling 1v1 sequences by leveraging his high-end puck skills to work around defenders in order to break to the inside or force defenders to haul him down and take a penalty.

The one thing that allowed Khoury to stand out throughout the tournament was his borderline elite handling ability, which allowed him to dangle through defenders with relative ease and stay on pucks through contact despite being a tad bit undersized. Some of his best moments came while he was attacking downhill and maneuvering around defenders to get chances off from in tight. There were times where he was knocked down on contact but managed to hold onto the puck, sometimes even with aa single hand on his stick and dodge the ensuing poke check. He had some strong instances of puck support in the offensive zone as well, staying close to linemates so he could pounce on loose pucks and extend offensive zone sequences.

Khoury’s physical stature didn’t allow him to hold onto pucks for very long in this game but he was still able to make a positive impact on Laval’s top line through his effort level and quick and calculated approach. He was accurate in his transition passes through the neutral zone, allowing his line to play with pace and momentum and attack the offensive zone with speed. He had a strong sequence late in the third where he hounded an opposing defender below the circle, stripped him of the puck and made a quick centering feed that lead to a redirection from the low slot.
