Despite being a raw talent, he has been described as an intense, fast playmaker.



However, he has some silky mitts, not only being a great passer but against Lokomotiv Yaroslavl he finished a sick, backhand, almost Michigan-style goal.

The Metallurg MG did put up a fight and would lose 5-3 to the Lokomotiv in the KHL Conference Final.

He has been described as a future top-nine winger, who could play multiple roles up and down a lineup thanks to his versatile capabilities.
