Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Marchessault is an original Golden Knight.
He's an undersize, quick, fast-strike forward who has shown the ability to take his game to another level in big moments.
A threat off the rush. Slippery in small areas. Reacts quickly to spin off checks along the boards in the offensive zone.
Leans shooter more than distributor.
In his first 12 game segment to start the new season he averaged 17:03 TOI - 13:01 ES - 4:01 PP, scoring 6G- 3A
Doesn't have a role on the PK - adequate on the defensive side of the play
Brings speed, skill, offense.
