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
13 goals and 12 assists in 52 games — 25 points, minus-4, at 14:55 a night with 8 power-play goals. His 5-on-5 work was done in Los Angeles.
The Finesse Game
A finisher who needs the ice manufactured for him. 120 unblocked attempts, 13 goals, median 24 feet with 43 per cent from inside 20.
8 of 13 goals on the power play is a very high share and tells you where he is useful. 85 goals in 271 career games includes a 39-goal season in Vancouver that nobody has come close to repeating.
The Physical Game
5-11, 200, and he does not compete for pucks. 16 penalty minutes in 52 games.
This is the criticism that has followed him through 4 organisations in 4 seasons: the hands are real and the rest of the game is negotiable.
The Intangibles
52.8 per cent of the expected goals, 76th percentile, and 53.3 per cent of the shot attempts, 82nd, in 607 minutes on a strong Los Angeles club.
Those are good numbers and they are the ones he has posted everywhere while being moved repeatedly, which is its own kind of scouting report.
He is 30, undrafted, and arrives on a club that finished 9th on the power play with Crosby, Malkin and Karlsson to feed him. If it works anywhere, it works here.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe numbers rank him 49 points above where the report does. 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 — 68 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.

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
- LAK took 51.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.8% — 0.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 607 minutes at five-on-five — 24th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brandt Clarke | 52.3% | 53.1% | 54.8% |
| Kevin Fiala | 54.8% | 51.4% | 52.0% |
| Alex Turcotte | 59.7% | 47.9% | 52.7% |
52.3% together, 53.1% for him apart and 54.8% for Clarke apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
120 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 13 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 43% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 24% from beyond forty.
