A leader by example, Kovar's playmaking abilities - based on his high hockey IQ - are extraordinary. Has a great vision to bring linemates into a promising scoring-position. Effective in both ends of the rink and very resistant thanks to strong physique. Wins majority of his faceoffs. (by Reto Grimm, May 2021)
