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
32 goals and 32 assists in all 82 games — 64 points, minus-5, at 17:27 a night with 5 power-play goals and 26 penalty minutes.
His 1,573rd career game and his 1,687th point. 929 goals.
He turns 41 in September.
The Finesse Game
The shot is the most productive weapon in the history of the sport and it has not changed in 21 years. 390 unblocked attempts — the most on the club — from a median of 36 feet, with only 27 per cent from inside 20 and 34 per cent from beyond 40.
That is the office: the left circle, the same release, the same result. 30 goals came out of it at 40 years old.
32 assists is a fair number and has never been the point.
The Physical Game
6-3 and 238 pounds, and still one of the heaviest hitters in the league when he chooses to be. 26 penalty minutes.
The skating went years ago and the strength has not. He plays 82 games a season and has done so for 2 decades — 1,573 games and almost none of them missed.
The Intangibles
49.6 per cent of the expected goals, 51st percentile, across 1,035 minutes — dead average, and the least interesting line on the page.
11 points in his last 10, 6 of them goals.
He is 40, the leading goalscorer in the history of the National Hockey League, and still scoring 30 a year. There is no scouting report to write. Go and watch it.
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.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
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 eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 43 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 — 82 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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dylan Strome | 49.7% | 49.1% | 45.2% |
| Anthony Beauvillier | 51.4% | 47.9% | 46.0% |
| Jakob Chychrun | 48.8% | 50.1% | 51.0% |
49.7% together, 49.1% for him apart and 45.2% for Strome apart. Strome was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Strome 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
390 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 30 of them goals. His median goal came from 23 feet. 27% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 34% from beyond forty.
