With the 27th pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, the Washington Capitals have selected Lynden Lakovic of the Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL.
Lakovic is always thinking about how to create the best play. A highly skilled passer, he seeks to add value to the sequence with every touch while still managing to keep the risk down. A powerful, accurate, and versatile shot provides the perfect complement for Lakovic’s playmaking. He fires in stride, changes the angle, and curls around sticks to create shooting lanes.
