Jaxon Cover 2026 NHL Draft profile.

Scouting read
Cover is a scoring winger. Raw late-start player with speed and turnover creation (Daily Faceoff, Steven Ellis). He also drew a 2026 NHL Combine invite. The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. The bet is a useful middle-six piece if the tools keep scaling. He is more of a second-round conversation, with a #23-#44 public range across 6 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 29th among North American skaters. For context, his 52 points in 67 games (0.78 P/GP) rank 280th of 931 among OHL U18 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
