Mike Matheson is an elegant skating two-way defenseman with tremendous mobility. Plays crisp passes and possesses solid puck-skills, although he tends to over stick-handle the puck and loses control. Sees the ice well and makes a good first pass out of his zone or Mike Matheson skates with the puck up the ice when he sees an opening and defends with good gap-control, using his excellent skating-abilities. Has good size and protects the puck well, but despite that he tends to rely to much on him shielding the puck and gets into troubles. He is a nice addition to a team’s top-4 defensive core and can be used in all situations. (by Rafik Soliman, February 2023)
