"Very skilled skater, not only with speed carrying or joining the rush but also with excellent agility and mobility. His skating makes him effective when eluding the opposition in all areas of the ice and also helps him to set up scoring chances. Displays confidence, along with patience, when making decisions. Shows a good transition game. Will stand up in all areas with good open ice hits, playing bigger than his size. His point total isn't reflective of his offensive instincts - he is a threat creating offensive chances. The defensive side to his game is solid and he is a go-to contributor on the penalty kill."
