Anton Lundell
Florida Panthers Center #15
44 points from the third line, and the best two-way centre nobody discusses.

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
18 goals and 26 assists in 64 games — 44 points, minus-8, at 19:09 a night. 10 points in his last 10, 4 of them goals.
The Finesse Game
A complete centre in miniature. The passing is the best part — 26 assists in 64 games from a man who spends much of the night in his own end — and the shot selection is sound: 41 per cent of his unblocked attempts from inside 20 feet, median 25, 20 goals.
He is not fast and he does not need to be. The reads are early enough that the puck arrives where he already is.
The Physical Game
6-1, 196, and he plays a hard, low-penalty defensive game. 34 penalty minutes. He wins faceoffs, kills penalties on the fifth-ranked unit in the league, and is difficult to take the puck from below the goal line.
The Intangibles
50.2 per cent of the expected goals, 56th percentile, with the chances 34.3 to 34.0 and the goals 32-36 — one of the few Panthers whose actual results were not eaten by the goaltending.
He is 24, the twelfth pick in 2020, and 201 points into 359 games with 2 Stanley Cups already.
On most rosters he is the second-line centre and a familiar name. Behind Barkov and Bennett he is the third one, and the club’s depth down the middle is the reason it has won.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 26 points above where the numbers do. 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 — 78 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.

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
- FLA took 50.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.2% — 0.2 below the club he did it on.
- The role

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eetu Luostarinen | 50.2% | 50.3% | 54.9% |
| Gustav Forsling | 51.9% | 48.4% | 52.7% |
| Sam Reinhart | 51.3% | 49.3% | 52.3% |
50.2% together, 50.3% for him apart and 54.9% for Luostarinen apart. Luostarinen was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more 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
218 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 20 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 41% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
