Nico Daws of Guelph (OHL) is No. 1 on Central Scouting’s ranking of North American goalies. Nico’s back up Owen Bennett also makes the list at 24th among North American goalies while Pavel Gogolev is ranked 107th among North American skaters.
“Daws has excellent positional play, is calm and cool in any situation and has great instincts,” NHL Central Scouting’s Al Jensen said. “He’s made a huge improvement from last season and already has some very good pro skills. He’s very efficient in his lateral ability, handles and moves the puck out of his net extremely well.”
The 6-3, 199-pound left-catching goalie was 23-8-6 with a 2.48 goals-against average, five shutouts and a .924 save percentage in 38 games. He also played two games for Canada at the 2020 WJC.
