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

14 goals and 14 assists in 81 games for 28 points, even, on 13:02 a night with Washington, including a shorthanded goal.

95 shots in 81 games is a low volume and 14.7 per cent conversion is above his career rate. 28 points on the best regular-season club in the league is a bottom-six return.

The Finesse Game

Better hands than the recent numbers suggest and a release that used to be a genuine weapon. The 35-goal season in Calgary was four years ago and everything since has been in the 30-40 point range.

What remains is a winger who protects the puck well below the goal line and can make a play at moderate speed. The volume is the problem — 95 shots in a full season is not enough to score.

The Physical Game

5-10 and 183, and he plays hard for the size. He forechecks with real force, goes into corners against defencemen, and does not get discouraged.

24 penalty minutes over 81 games. The durability has been excellent — four consecutive full seasons.

The Intangibles

A sixth-round pick who became a 35-goal scorer and then stopped, across three organisations.

At 29 the projection is a third-line winger who forechecks and scores 15. Edmonton is buying the possibility that a man who has spent three years in defensive roles on defensive clubs looks different beside a 100-point centre. That is a reasonable bet at the price.

The eye and the numbers

The two rank him within 1 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 337 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 76 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.

Usual linemates

  • Lars Ellernow OTT41%

  • Hendrix Lapierre20%

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 51.6% — 0.8 above the club he did it on.
The role
Fourth line, 908 minutes at five-on-five — 47th percentile in ice time.

With and without

TeammateTogetherHim apartMate apart
Lars Eller53.4%50.5%48.4%
Rasmus Sandin51.6%51.6%50.4%
Jakob Chychrun49.8%52.5%48.7%

53.4% together, 50.5% for him apart and 48.4% for Eller apart. Eller was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Eller 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

139 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 17 feet. 47% of his shots came from inside twenty feet.
