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

15 goals and 10 assists in 81 games across Pittsburgh and Washington — 25 points at 12:52 a night, plus-2, with a shorthanded goal on 149 shots, converting at 10.1 per cent, and 14 penalty minutes.

49.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 51st percentile. His ice went 40-57 against an expectation of 38.24-38.58 — eighteen goals conceded above expectation, the worst on-ice differential on the roster by a wide margin.

The Finesse Game

149 attempts at a median of 19 feet with 51 per cent from inside 20, converting at 10.1 per cent. He shoots from good places and he does not finish; a 21-goal season in 2017-18 is still the high-water mark.

10 assists in 81 games. There is essentially no creation — 271 points in 631 career games and a ratio that says shooter without the finishing to justify it.

The Physical Game

5-11 and 181 and he does not play a physical game. He does not forecheck with force and he does not win pucks against defencemen.

14 penalty minutes in 81 games. He is disciplined and largely uninvolved in that half of the game.

The Intangibles

Twenty-eighth overall in 2015 by the Islanders and 631 games and 271 points across six organisations, four of them in the last three seasons.

He is 28. He scored a Game 6 overtime winner in a first-round series once and has since been traded four times, which is the shape of a career that has settled at thirteen minutes a night.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report
21st
Numbers
52nd

The numbers rank him 31 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 — 67 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

2024-25 with PIT · 776 minutes at five-on-five

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 49.8% — 1.0 below the club he did it on.
The role
954 minutes at five-on-five — 54th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Erik Karlsson47.1%51.0%48.4%
Matt Grzelcyk46.2%51.3%46.7%
Kris Letang46.1%51.3%47.6%

47.1% together, 51.0% for him apart and 48.4% for Karlsson apart. He was better away from Karlsson, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Karlsson.

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

208 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 17 of them goals. His median goal came from 9 feet. 51% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
