Mateychuk continues to play to his identity as a 2-way / Transitional defenceman.
He has the ability to escape pressure with the puck on his stick and either outlet or skate pucks out of his zone on his own. Fantastic vision. Sees the ice exceptionally well in the offensive zone. Finds passing lanes that other prospects fail to identify. Speaks to his hockey sense.
Defensively his detail can range at times when defending against pro level players. Has room to improve containing opponents and bumping the play to the perimeter. Projects as a middle pairing 'D' who can QB a PP unit. Needs to be paired with a 'safe' D partner.
