Not much has changed with McDonough. He continues to play to his identity, offensively, at the college level. He's a goal scorer / leaning power-play specialist who scores nearly half of his goals with the man advantage. He isn't a burner between the blue lines / in transition. His best work comes in the offensive zone after his line mates have gained access and established control. McDonough has good size. He can shield pucks from opponents with his long reach. His three zone detail ranges but is not an area of extreme concern. His skating is definitely what will hold him back from playing to his identity as a pro. He needs to get more speed in his game.
