2016 first-round draft pick Mikhail Sergachev demonstrated brilliant breakout ability in Sunday's rookie-tournament game against Ottawa, taking the puck coast to coast before dishing it off to Daniel Audette for the goal.

The 18-year-old defenseman, who was selected ninth overall, recorded 17 goals and 40 assists for the OHL's Windsor Spitfires last season.
