This Season So Far
The 2026-27 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
5 goals and 21 points in 70 games, minus-6, on 15 minutes a night. 21 points is a normal season for him and the goals are down even on that.
The Finesse Game
Limited and always has been. 126 goals in 845 games. He scores from the net front, does not carry the puck, and the offence arrives from forechecking rather than from anything he creates.
71 shots across a full season is a very low volume, and reflects a player whose job is entirely about what happens in the other end of the rink.
The Physical Game
6-5 and 210, and this is the whole value. He forechecks hard, wins pucks on the wall, and is genuinely difficult to play against. He takes the defensive-zone draws against top lines, kills penalties, and does the unrewarded work that lets the scoring lines start in the offensive zone.
He plays a punishing style and has missed time in most recent seasons.
The Intangibles
The captain of a club with 200-point-adjacent forwards, which tells you what the room values. He is respected around the league in a way that does not show up in any statistic.
He is 33 with a body that has taken a great deal. The role will outlast the production; the question is how long the body lasts.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 41 points above where the numbers do. It was written with these numbers on screen and departs from them anyway, which makes the gap a judgment rather than an oversight. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 78 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 83.6
A top speed is a season's best, and a man who takes more shifts gets more tries at one; the percentile is the feed's own, against every skater, and says less between a top-pair defenceman and a fourth-line wing than it does between two men in the same job. The counts are shown per game for the same reason.

Usual linemates
2025-26 · 885 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, 2025-26
- The club
- WPG took 47.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.4% — 1.1 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 885 minutes at five-on-five — 46th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dylan Samberg | 50.2% | 47.0% | 50.0% |
| Cole Perfetti | 53.8% | 44.7% | 46.2% |
| Dylan DeMelo | 57.1% | 43.5% | 49.0% |
50.2% together, 47.0% for him apart and 50.0% for Samberg apart. He was worse away from Samberg, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Samberg did.
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
125 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 11 feet. 53% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
