Very skilled two-way forward with speed and vision who possess a fluid stride and can gain a high-end top speed in a hurry with the puck on his stick, carrying it through the neutral zone. Does an exceptional job of breaking up passes and plays in the neutral zone thanks to his positioning and active stick work. Transitions quickly from defense to offense with ease, often faster than his opponents can react and can beat defenders in tight while protecting the puck for dangerous scoring opportunities in close. Seems to process the game exceptionally well compared to his peers and consistently shows that he can turn the most simple of plays into quality scoring opportunities. Anticipates the play well and always seems to know where to be on the ice. Possesses a solid shot, and the smarts to be an excellent playmaker and has the ability to create dangerous scoring opportunities. On the backcheck, he uses good positioning and a quick stick to break up plays and generally clog up the neutral zone. He’s very aggressive in his own end and unforgiving in his effort to pressure the puck carrier to make a mistake. Isn’t afraid to use his solid size to separate the puck carrier and the puck, but only when necessary. Constantly smart when it comes to the 200-foot game and makes good choices with or without the puck.
