Profile Contributed By: DJ Powers
History
2006-07: The Antigo, WI native helped anchor a solid Badgers defensive corps once again this season. He played in 38 games and posted five points (one goal, four assists). His lone goal of the season came a little less than two weeks ago in Wisconsin’s 3-2 win over Denver in the opening round of the WCHA conference playoffs. Signed to a three year entry level contract with the Los Angeles Kings.
Talent Analysis
Piskula is a defensive defenseman with good size. For a man who is 6’3/212, he skates remarkably well with deceptive speed and can move the puck quite effectively. His smart, sound defensive zone play and great mobility are two of Piskula’s attributes that have gotten many in the scouting community taking notice.
Future
While it is unlikely that he’ll ever become a high scoring defenseman, Piskula has shown that he can get pucks to the net and chip in the occasional goal.
