Werenski scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.
Scouting Report
Continues to elevate his game as he approaches the prime of his career. He is making big strides in his defensive play without sacrificing any of his offensive abilities, including his role as a power-play quarterback. He is capable of playing huge minutes at an elite level and only figures to improve as his game matures.
Long Range Potential: Top-tier defenseman.
