Novak (lower body) won't play Thursday versus St. Louis.
Scouting Report
Owns a great combination of quickness and playmaking acumen. Will beat defenders on the outside, or kill them with his hockey IQ, because he is also patient with the puck. Lacks ideal size for the NHL game, so he must get physically stronger in order to maximize production at the highest level. Must be able to fight through tighter checking.
Long Range Potential: Smart, playmaking center with some upside.
