Ultimate 100% winger who loves contact, crashing the area near the blue paint, finishing every check, and being the player who works hardest away from the puck. Has improved his skating to the point where it aids him getting to loose pucks before the opposition. Loves the contact he delivers in the battle areas and scores from in close. Excellent on the penalty kill. His offensive game has improved by him now setting things up and being a smart passer. Has a good quick release. He's the guy that gets to the loose pucks, softens the competitors to take some away, and ascending creativity once he has the puck.
