Caleb Malhotra's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - December 10th: "He breaks down opponents one-on-one very well and is a great passer. Malhotra competes very hard, showing a detailed two-way game and potential to play difficult minutes as a pro."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - December 8th: "When he needs a physical edge, he can crash and bang on the forecheck. When his team is down a goal, he pushes the pace and generates scoring chances by attacking the middle of the ice. Malhotra is a versatile center who can be thrown over the boards at any time."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - December 1st: "He also can match-up against top lines in a shutdown role if required. His combination of speed, hockey IQ, consistent compete, and skill project Malhotra as a potential top-line NHL forward in time. His approach to the game is similar to Nick Suzuki with the Montreal Canadiens."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - November 19th: "He’s a tremendous playmaker who gives it his all at both ends of the ice. That’s understandable, given his father, Manny, was known for his two-way play. Always bet high on hockey bloodlines, and it never hurts when you’re able to produce as much as Malhotra does."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - November 19th: "Malhotra plays a complete game with the ability to make an impact even if he’s not producing. Being named captain of the CHL Top Prospects team tells me all I need to know about what he brings to the table in terms of intangibles."

Smaht Schouting - November 9th: "He consistently supports play in all three zones, positioning himself smartly to recover loose pucks and provide outlets for his defensemen. Malhotra’s forechecking reads stand out — he anticipates pressure well, slipping behind the net to create turnovers and quickly transitioning those into interior passing chances."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Nov. 5th: "Malhotra is already a very mature player, with good stick detail and sound and reliable habits at an early age. He plays with pace, puts himself in good spots and has an advanced feel for the game. He'll go to the front of the net, and he competes."
