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
30 goals and 36 assists in 76 games — 66 points at 16:27 a night, plus-40, with 3 shorthanded goals and 6 game-winners on 142 shots, converting at 21.1 per cent, and 18 penalty minutes.
He had 6 goals the season before. 52.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 74th percentile. His ice went 44-30 against an expectation of 45.81-41.62 — level for and twelve fewer conceded.
The Finesse Game
142 attempts at a median of 23 feet with 42 per cent from inside 20 and 18 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 21.1 per cent.
36 assists. The hands at 6-6 are the thing nobody expects — he handles the puck in traffic at that height without losing it, and he passes out of the corner to the slot rather than throwing it at the net. 119 points in 245 career games, and 66 of them last season.
The Physical Game
6-6 and 250 and he is among the largest forwards in the league. He wins pucks below the goal line as a matter of physics, he cannot be moved off the front of the net, and he forechecks with genuine force.
18 penalty minutes in 76 games, and 38 in 245 career games. That is a remarkably clean record for a man this size and it is the reason he can be trusted a man short.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick in 2019 — 91st overall — out of Vitebsk, and 245 NHL games across four seasons of being a fourth-line body.
He is 24. He went from 6 goals to 30 and from minus-3 to plus-40 in one year, which is either a change in usage or a player arriving, and at 6-6 and 24 the second is worth betting on.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 22 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 — 84 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.

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
- WSH took 50.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.4% — 1.6 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 1,072 minutes at five-on-five — 71st percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pierre-Luc Dubois | 54.1% | 51.1% | 53.6% |
| Dylan Strome | 48.7% | 55.1% | 46.3% |
| Alex Ovechkin | 48.5% | 54.7% | 42.8% |
54.1% together, 51.1% for him apart and 53.6% for Dubois apart. He was worse away from Dubois, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Dubois 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
212 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 29 of them goals. His median goal came from 20 feet. 42% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 18% from beyond forty.
