NHL Future Watch: Hendrix Lapierre Hockey Cards, Washington Capitals – Hendrix Lapierre was drafted by the Washington Capitals with the 22nd overall selection in the 2020 NHL Draft. This center has a lot of skill and can be a big wheel on the power play.
It all started for him with Chicoutimi in the QMJHL. In 2017-18, at the age of 15, he had 17 goals and 40 assists in 35 games. He added 10 points in nine playoff games as well. There was something special going on.
In 2018-19, he had 45 points in 48 games. His numbers were down a bit due to the number of games he played. In the postseason, Lapierre added five points in four playoff games. He won the Michel Bergeron Trophy signifying him as the Rookie of the Year.

In the playoffs, his 13 points in nine games were excellent. Five of them were goals. He is rare, and he can be a scorer or a playmaker. He’s got a high ceiling but must prove it with reps.
In 2021-22, he was traded to Acadie-Bathhurst. He lit it up for them. In 40 games, the prospect scored 21 goals with 30 assists. In the postseason, Lapierre added four goals and seven assists in 11 games. After the season, he turned pro. Lapierre got to play in six NHL games for the Washington Capitals.
