This Season So Far

The 2025-26 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.

Last Season

12 goals and 15 assists in 81 games for 27 points, plus-2, on 14:39 a night.

48 per cent at five-on-five, the 31st percentile — the worst share among the club’s forwards. His on-ice goals were 60-35 against an expected 36.4-39.4, which is 24 goals of finishing above expectation at one end and 4 of goaltending at the other. It is the largest such surplus in this edition and it belongs to a fourth-line centre.

The Finesse Game

Modest and well-directed. 104 shots and 12 goals at 11.5 per cent, and 43 per cent of the attempts from inside 20 feet — he goes to the net and scores from there or not at all.

15 assists in 81 games is thin. There is no creation here at 35 and there does not need to be in the role.

The Physical Game

6 feet and 195, and honest rather than heavy. He is willing on the wall, takes a defensive-zone draw, and blocks shots.

16 penalty minutes over 81 games is exceptional discipline. Fifteen seasons and the durability has been remarkable.

The Intangibles

Fifteen seasons, three organisations, a long career as a genuinely useful second-line centre, and a late one as a fourth-line one on a contender.

At 35 the projection is 25 points and reliable defensive work. The 24 goals of finishing surplus should be treated as what it is — a fourth line getting extremely fortunate for one season — and the 31st-percentile chance share is the truer number.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report

31st

The two rank him within 16 points of one another. It was written for a back edition, with the seasons that followed already known. Neither the agreement nor the gap says anything about the eye, and this report is excluded from the club-level comparison for the same reason.

Both bars are percentiles among the 357 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 72 on their own scale — against every other report's mean. The numbers bar ranks his share of expected goals. A gap is a disagreement about where he belongs, not two scales talking past each other.

Usual linemates

2024-25 · 934 minutes at five-on-five

Share of his five-on-five ice time spent alongside each player, measured from shift charts. Special teams are excluded: a power-play unit is not a line.

Why the numbers land there

Five-on-five, 2024-25

The club
EDM took 54.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.0% — 6.3 below the club he did it on.
The role
Third line, 934 minutes at five-on-five — 51st percentile in ice time.

With and without

Darnell Nurse49.3%47.1%54.9%
Connor Brown46.6%49.0%53.1%
Mattias Janmark51.2%46.1%48.2%

49.3% together, 47.1% for him apart and 54.9% for Nurse apart. Nurse was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for him.

Expected-goal share while both were on the ice, and for each man in the minutes he played without the other. Apart is the pair subtracted from his own totals. It does not settle who was carrying whom — apart from each other, both were still playing with somebody — but it does say whether the share travelled when the pairing broke up.

Where he shoots from

goal on goal missed

145 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 17 feet. 43% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 19% from beyond forty.
