Russian sniper wing with a hard, accurate short and quick release who is an underrated playmaker. Has the size and strength to win puck battles in the corners and wall, and the slot area. He sues the defenders as screens and hides his release point well. Skates with power and balance and has a good first step. Can take tough passes in his skates and get them under control at top gear. Is a unselfish smart passer. His defensive effort will need more commitment.
