The best developing goaler in Russia. Thick bodied and looks to grow bigger than his six foot frame, he is already a wide-bodied puck stopper who is very balanced on his skaters, has a good stance, and is technically skilled as he keeps adjusting to his growth spurt. Displays high level concentration, reflexes, anticipation and a very effective stick. He excels as a puckhandler and passer. Raised in a goaltending style similar to the technique that Andrei Vasilevsky plays. Still not considered as a prospect as he was, there is still lots to like and expect him off the board in the goalie run.
