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
19 goals and 23 assists in all 82 games — 42 points, even in plus-minus, at 15:38 a night with 5 power-play goals and 44 penalty minutes. His 5-on-5 work was done in New York.
His 923rd career game and his 549th point. 308 career goals.
The Finesse Game
One of the 2 most extreme shot charts in this edition. 310 unblocked attempts, 68 per cent of them from inside 20 feet, with a median of 11 — only Zach Hyman works from closer — and just 10 per cent from beyond 40.
He shoots from the crease and from nowhere else, and he has scored 300 goals doing it.
23 assists in a full season is the honest limit of the playmaking.
The Physical Game
6-3 and 234 pounds, and it is the whole career — he stands in front of goaltenders, absorbs cross-checks, and does not move. 44 penalty minutes.
The skating was never good and at 36 it is poor. He gets to the net front because that is where he starts.
The Intangibles
51.3 per cent of the expected goals, 66th percentile, and 51.5 per cent of the shot attempts, 70th, across 1,080 minutes on Long Island, with the chances 53.0 to 50.3 in his favour.
Those are good figures for a man of 36 who cannot skate.
He is 36, a sixth-round pick, 16 seasons and a captaincy on Long Island, and joins a Utah club whose top 6 is built entirely of small, quick forwards who shoot from distance. He is the only man on the roster who will stand in the blue paint.
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 two rank him within 16 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.
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 — 78 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.

Usual linemates

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, 2025-26
- The club
- NYI took 48.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.3% — 2.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 1,080 minutes at five-on-five — 69th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jean-Gabriel Pageau | 50.7% | 51.8% | 42.0% |
| Matthew Schaefer | 52.8% | 50.1% | 50.0% |
| Mathew Barzal | 53.7% | 49.7% | 50.2% |
50.7% together, 51.8% for him apart and 42.0% for Pageau apart. Pageau was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Pageau 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
310 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 19 of them goals. His median goal came from 9 feet. 68% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 10% from beyond forty.
