Babin possesses excellent puck skills, demonstrating both poise and patience in both carrying and distributing it. While Babin is not shy about jumping up to join the play, it almost never comes at the expense of his defensive responsibilities. He is a very smart, instinctive player who has a great sense of anticipation and awareness. Babin has superb on-ice vision and has a knack for finding the open spaces. He possesses a very good shot and has little trouble getting pucks to the net. Babin is not an overly physical play but will play the body when necessary.
