A competitive and skilled offensive forward, he’s very active and involved in all three zones. He has a very fluid skating stride, great speed and excellent agility. His great acceleration and strong edges allow him to take off in a hurry, with or without the puck. Displaying great intensity, he does a fantastic job of always pushing the pace and keeping the pressure on, making opposing players really have to work to defend against him. While he reads the ice well and sees plays developing quickly, he will often sacrifice his defensive positioning to create a rush. Crafty with the puck, he always has his head up and uses his teammates well offensively. While in transition and at full speed, he’s still able to show off lightning-quick hands and very good passing abilities. He’s not afraid to try no-look and behind-the-back passes, making him even harder to defend. Has an impressive ability to receive and unload one-timers, but he doesn’t get a lot of power behind his shot. Due to the fact he keeps his feet moving through body checks, he’s able to draw penalties because of it. He has solid awareness and hockey sense, although he does look a little lost in his own zone at times. His small size is obviously a factor against him, but he does everything that small players need to do to be successful at the professional level.
