Comments: Alexander Command is a dynamic, two-way forward with strong vision, competitiveness in all three zones, and the ability to play with pace through strong skating and good puck control. He is very physical and shows his capability of leading rushes throughout the game. Command delivered an impressive performance in this game with an assist and an overall big impact on all areas of the ice. On his helper, he came back to support the neutral zone regroup, showed patience with the puck and delivered a perfect saucer pass up ice with good vision. His elusive skating and puck protection also allows him to beat defenders wide and maintain possession under pressure. Away from the puck, he supported exits with hard stops and starts, provided low-swinging options for his defensemen, and put pucks into space for teammates to skate into instead of forcing plays. In tight areas, he protected the puck effectively, made short bump passes on the wall to extend cycles, and regrouped rather than chipping it off the glass when options closed. Defensively, he backchecked with purpose to break up odd-man rushes, got above his check, and started transitions with firm, flat first passes. He also exhibited smart forechecking by taking away passing lanes, applying heavy pressure to force turnovers, and using his physicality to disrupt plays in the offensive zone, leading to takeaways that fueled counters.
