Andrew Peeke
Boston Bruins Defense
1 goal in 76 games, a minus-10, and a right-shot defenceman playing 18 minutes because somebody has to.

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
1 goal and 16 assists in 76 games for 17 points, minus-10, on 18:36 a night.
48.3 per cent at five-on-five, the 36th percentile, over 1,184 minutes largely beside Mason Lohrei. 80 shots, 80 per cent of them from beyond 40 feet, and 1 goal.
The Finesse Game
There is essentially none. The first pass is short and safe and it goes to the boards more often than to a forward, and 17 points in 76 games is a defensive defenceman’s total in a defensive defenceman’s role.
What he does provide is a defenceman who does not lose the puck in his own zone, which on a pairing with Lohrei is precisely the job description.
The Physical Game
6-3 and 214, and he defends the front of his net properly. He boxes out, ties up sticks, and blocks shots without theatre.
15 penalty minutes across 76 games is exceptional discipline for a defenceman in this role, and it is the most impressive thing in his statistical record.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick, seven NHL seasons across two clubs, and a career of being the third-pair right shot who ends up playing on the second because of injuries.
That is what happened here. He is a serviceable defenceman being asked to do more than he should, on a club without the depth to arrange otherwise, and the projection does not change: 18 minutes, no offence, and no disasters.
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.

- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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 numbers rank him 26 points above where the report does. 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. 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 64 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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason Lohrei | 46.3% | 50.0% | 48.8% |
| David Pastrnak | 52.8% | 45.5% | 50.4% |
| Nikita Zadorov | 49.6% | 47.6% | 48.7% |
46.3% together, 50.0% for him apart and 48.8% for Lohrei apart. He was better away from Lohrei, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Lohrei.
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
122 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 19 feet. 3% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 80% from beyond forty.
