Tourigny can skate down the wing, past defenders, and release from the faceoff circle, leveraging his speed and that long stick to elevate the puck above the shoulders of goalies. His constant activations make him hard to deal with on the ice. The opposition always has to be on the lookout for him, as a wrong move could lead to another one of his rushes.

Fedotov wants the puck. His stick bangs the ice to demand his teammate’s attention and his feet automatically pursue the puck hard when it escapes his team’s clutches. He plays with an impressive physicality. He is not content just going shoulder to shoulder to shove opponents away from the puck; he outright rams them, leaving them flat on the ice wondering what kind of train hit them.
