Talent Analysis
Peterson is a left-handed winger who plays an offensively robust style of game. An above average puck-distributor and okay skater, Peterson’s best attribute is his ability to put the puck in the net – particularly off the cycle. The 20-year-old needs to work on his acceleration however if he hopes to maximize his skating ability. Although he does a good job of utilizing his frame to protect the puck, he also needs to play a more physically robust game for a person of his size.
