This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
1 goal and 9 assists in 38 games for Columbus and Boston — 10 points at 16:24 a night, minus-1, on 37 shots with 14 penalty minutes.
45.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 558 minutes, the 21st percentile. His ice went 35-28 against an expectation of 20.37-24.47 — fifteen goals scored above expectation in 558 minutes, which is not a thing that repeats and should be read as the sample it is.
The Finesse Game
37 attempts at a median of 55 feet, with 80 per cent from beyond 40 and 5 per cent from inside 20, converting at 2.70 per cent. Ten goals in 233 NHL games.
Nine assists. He does not carry the puck out and the first pass is short and defensive, and there is no offensive dimension here to develop.
The Physical Game
6-3 and 214. He blocks shots and he goes to the front of his own net, and the defending is honest positional work rather than punishment.
14 penalty minutes in 38 games and 104 in 233 for his career — a low rate. He does not retaliate.
The Intangibles
Thirty-fourth overall in 2016 by Columbus, traded here in March, and 233 games with a career minus-59 on some very poor clubs.
He is 26 and he is a third-pairing defenceman on a good team, which is a considerably better job than a second-pairing one on a bad team. The fifteen goals above expectation are the club he arrived at rather than anything he did.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 5 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 41 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 57 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
2023-24 with CBJ · 326 minutes at five-on-five
- Ivan Provorov62%
- Jake Beannow CGY15%
- Zach Werenski11%
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, 2023-24
- The club
- BOS took 49.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 45.4% — 4.3 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 558 minutes at five-on-five — 22nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ivan Provorov | 43.3% | 46.9% | 46.5% |
| Justin Danforth | 43.9% | 45.7% | 45.7% |
| Johnny Gaudreau | 45.3% | 45.5% | 49.7% |
43.3% together, 46.9% for him apart and 46.5% for Provorov apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
61 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 58 feet. 5% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 80% from beyond forty.
