Nick Sorensen's Player Profile

Sorensen had a good bounceback season after missing most of his first QMJHL campaign due to significant injury, although he experienced some injury issues this season as well. He was born in Denmark, but he represents Sweden in international play. He has above-average top speed, which he couples with a fair amount of puck skills, creativity, and offensive instincts. This combination of offensive skills projects him as a player with scoring line upside. He also displays a good level of physicality while not taking too many penalties. He needs to continue to gain strength while working on his defensive play. Whoever drafts him will be adding a player with quality tools to their organization, but also one who has a history of injury in consecutive seasons.

Has first round pedigree but has really struggled his North American transition with injuries… Foot speed and skating ability projects well to the NHL level… Shows solid 2-way play and potential PK ability… Needs to show more offensively…Creativity is fairly average.
