2019 NHL Draft prospect profile: Nikita Okhotyuk is both mobile and physical

The Ottawa 67’s dominated the OHL during the regular season, only losing 12 games over the full calendar and smashing through the first two rounds of the playoffs without dropping a single contest. They are the favourites for the Memorial Cup, stacked with talent.

Nikita Okhotyuk was only used in a depth role for the majority of the season. He anchored the third pair of the 67’s, playing some solid minutes but not standing out on the scoresheet.
