After recovering from early season injury, he immediately was elevated directly to the men's Liiga team. A minute munching workhorse with a solid two-way game. A six foot, he nonetheless has a sturdy frame and size.strength ratio to separate opponents for the puck.Very smart with a low panic level, he is highly mobile and with excellent first steps. Displays very very good gap control, gutty ng his shoulders square to the puck handler and angling their rushes to the wall. Not flashy and takes care of business in his own end, making efficient break outs, getting the puck to the correct spot crisply. he will patiently outwait forecheckers in his end. Although he shows creativity own his passing in the offensive end, and he will outwit shot blocks there as well. He has a solid two way and plays a mature game.
