Whenever he has the puck on his stick he is very dangerous and has the ability to change a game. His posture allows him to be very good at all aspects of skating, speed, mobility, acceleration, laterally and agility. He has great balance and is not easily moved off of the puck. He handles the puck well, has good vision and moves the puck with authority and accuracy.
