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

15 goals and 16 assists in 82 games — 31 points at 13:17 a night, plus-21, with 6 power-play goals and 2 game-winners on 109 shots, and 15 penalty minutes.

56.0 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 92nd percentile — the best mark of any forward on the roster. His ice went 33-18 against an expectation of 29.68-23.28 — ten goals better than expected for and five worse against, on a fourth line.

The Finesse Game

109 attempts at a median of 19 feet with 53 per cent from inside 20 and 13 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 13.8 per cent. He shoots from the paint, which is where a thirteen-minute winger’s goals have to come from.

16 assists. There is little creation. 262 points in 584 career games is the record of a useful, unremarkable, entirely dependable player.

The Physical Game

6-0 and 201 and honest. He forechecks properly, he supports the puck, and he does not initiate much contact.

15 penalty minutes in 82 games, and 101 in 584 career games — one of the lowest rates in this edition. He does not foul, he does not retaliate, and he kills penalties.

The Intangibles

Undrafted out of Minnesota-Duluth and 584 NHL games, seven seasons of it in Los Angeles.

He is 31 and was a throw-in on the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade, which is a description of him that his ice time flatly contradicts.

What kind of player

The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.

he lacks itraised, and he does not have it

Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2024-25 · 798 minutes

Expected goals: 56%; 94th pct
Shot attempts: 52.7%; 80th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 33 for, 18 against. Expected: 29.7 and 23.3.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight

Report

60th

Numbers

94th

The numbers rank him 34 points above where the report does. 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 — 74 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2024-25 · 82 games

Top speed: 22.4 mph; 56th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.78 a game
Distance: 2.09 miles a game
Hardest shot: 89.0 mph; 72nd pct

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

2024-25 · 798 minutes at five-on-five

Morgan Barron43%
Rasmus Kuparioff the roster32%
Mark Scheifele18%

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 56.0% — 4.2 above the club he did it on.
The role: Fourth line, 798 minutes at five-on-five — 36th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Morgan Barron	53.8%	57.8%	55.8%
Dylan DeMelo	59.5%	53.8%	52.0%
Josh Morrissey	58.2%	54.7%	53.2%

53.8% together, 57.8% for him apart and 55.8% for Barron apart. He was better away from Barron, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Barron.

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

152 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 15 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 53% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
