This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
81 games, 4 goals and 14 assists for 18 points, none on the power play, 55 penalty minutes, 22:57 a night and plus-6, with 1 game-winner. He took 48.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,556 minutes — the twelfth-most in this edition — and his ice went 57-49 against an expectation of 58.50-62.33.
Two goals of finishing below what the chances were worth and thirteen goals of goaltending above them. Twenty-two and a half minutes a night on the club with the eighth-best chance suppression in the league is the job, and he did it for 81 games.
The Finesse Game
177 attempts at a median of 45 feet with 62 per cent of them from beyond forty and 14 per cent from inside twenty, 122 of those on goal, converted at 3.1 per cent against a career 4.19 across 1,073 shots.
Zero power-play goals in 848 career games — the second-longest such run in this edition, behind Brenden Dillon. There is no offence here and there never has been; 168 career assists is the outlet pass counted up over thirteen seasons.
The Physical Game
He is 6-3 and 207 and took 55 penalty minutes.
504 career penalty minutes in 848 games. He closes gaps early and finishes the check rather than reaching for the puck, and at that size the man arrives whether the puck is still there or not — which is where a good share of those minutes come from.
The Intangibles
Fourth overall in 2011 by New Jersey, thirteen seasons, three organisations, and 213 points in 848 games.
A career plus-28 across thirteen seasons of the hardest defensive assignment on whatever club he is on. He was the fourth pick in his draft and has spent his career being the reason somebody else’s first line does not score.

Goals while he was on the ice: 57 for, 49 against. Expected: 58.5 and 62.3.
The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 71 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
2023-24 · 1556 minutes at five-on-five
- Vince Dunn61%
- Ryker Evans13%
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, 2023-24
- The club
- SEA took 50.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.4% — 2.4 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- First pair, 1,556 minutes at five-on-five — 98th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vince Dunn | 48.4% | 48.4% | 54.9% |
| Yanni Gourde | 47.2% | 48.9% | 50.6% |
| Matty Beniers | 50.0% | 47.7% | 52.3% |
48.4% together, 48.4% for him apart and 54.9% for Dunn apart. Dunn 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
177 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 27 feet. 14% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 62% from beyond forty.
