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
16 goals and 18 assists in 73 games — 34 points at 15:26 a night, plus-18, with 4 game-winners on 99 shots, converting at 16.2 per cent, and 28 penalty minutes.
51.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 63rd percentile. His ice went 44-33 against an expectation of 35.30-33.84 — nine goals better than expected for and level against, on the club’s shutdown line.
The Finesse Game
99 attempts at a median of 19 feet with 54 per cent from inside 20 and 13 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 16.2 per cent. He goes to the net because that is where a checking centre’s goals come from.
18 assists. 273 points in 775 games is the whole offensive record and it has never been the point. He wins the draw that begins the shift and the line starts the next one in the other end.
The Physical Game
6-5 and 210 and among the hardest forwards in the league to play against. He forechecks first, he finishes checks that hurt, and he wins pucks below the goal line against defencemen who cannot reach around him.
28 penalty minutes in 73 games is a low rate for a player who plays this way. He is not an agitator; the physical game is entirely about taking the puck.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick in 2011 — 67th overall — and 775 games, all of it here, eleven seasons.
He is the captain and he takes the hardest defensive assignment on the roster every night, and he has been a Selke candidate without ever being a scorer. He is 32.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 25 points above where the numbers do. 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. 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 80 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 · 914 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
- WPG took 51.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.1% — 0.7 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 914 minutes at five-on-five — 48th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason Appleton | 50.5% | 52.8% | 47.1% |
| Nino Niederreiter | 49.7% | 54.1% | 49.6% |
| Dylan DeMelo | 48.6% | 52.7% | 54.2% |
50.5% together, 52.8% for him apart and 47.1% for Appleton apart. Appleton was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Appleton 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
151 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 55% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
