Grushnikov is in the midst of his first year as a pro.
With the Texas Stars he was averaging around 16:30 TOI per game. The bulk of his ice time came at ES and PK.
Solid skater. Agile. Pivots well to track pucks that end up chipped deep in his zone / efficient keeping his pace turning from frontward to backward skating.
2-way 'D' who takes very little risk offensively. Rarely pinches down to extend plays in the offensive zone. Prefers to keep the play in front of him in all three zones.
Reliable defensively. Identifies his responsibility at ES / locks onto his man in d-zone coverage
Fronts the play on the PK. Occasionally blocks shots.
A low-risk defensive prospect who skates well, competes, and rarely takes chances. Better than average push back physically.
