On Thursday, Brandsegg-Nygård caught many off guard by his impeccable gameplay, and Todd McLellan expressed this following the Red Wings' win against the Buffalo Sabres.
"The information I've received is that he's a hell of a shooter, and I watched the one playoff game in Grand Rapids last year and I thought he set himself up to shoot all the time," McLellan said after Detroit's 5-2 win over Buffalo. "If someone gets him the puck, he's ready to shoot. I think it's a big part of his game, he has that heaviness and all those other things but for me, the shot isn't a surprise. I've been told it and I've witnessed it."
