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. 53.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 74th percentile. His ice went 69-43 against an expectation of 48.72-42.88 — 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.
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.
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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
HindsightThe two rank him within 17 points of one another. 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.
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.

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.

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 53.2% — 2.4 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 | 56.6% | 50.6% | 54.8% |
| Dylan Strome | 48.8% | 56.3% | 45.3% |
| Jakob Chychrun | 52.6% | 53.5% | 46.9% |
56.6% together, 50.6% for him apart and 54.8% 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.
