Kumlin has good first steps, which helps him to quickly change position in the offensive zone. He can also move quite well sideways with the puck. He works more with his body than his stick while playing. He plays with aggression and often stays close to his man. He consistently plays the body on his opponents near the boards to conquer the puck.
