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
All 82 games, 49 goals and 71 assists for 120 points, 11 on the power play, 24 penalty minutes, 20:07 a night and plus-18. He took 57.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,270 minutes, the 94th percentile, and his ice went 72-57 against an expectation of 69.17-52.04.
Three goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and five more conceded than they called for. A hundred and twenty points was fourth in the league and the 94th percentile is the best chance share on the club.
The Finesse Game
434 attempts at a median of 34 feet with 32 per cent from beyond 40, 303 of them on goal, converted at 16.2 per cent against a career 14.59 across 1,816 shots.
516 career assists in 672 games. Forty-nine goals from a man who takes a third of his attempts from beyond forty feet is remarkable. Everything the Rangers do at the offensive end begins with him holding the puck on the half-wall until a defender commits.
The Physical Game
He is 6-0 and 176 and plays no physical game at all.
206 career penalty minutes in 672 games is one of the lowest rates in the league. He does not forecheck by force, does not win the wall, and is knocked off the puck by anybody who reaches him.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, out of Korkino, nine seasons across three organisations, and 781 points in 672 games at a career plus-156.
He is 32 and had the best season of his career. An undrafted Russian who arrived at 23 and has scored at better than a point a game for nine seasons is one of the largest scouting misses of the century.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 0 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 415 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.
Usual linemates
2023-24 · 1270 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, 2023-24
- The club
- NYR took 50.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 57.1% — 7.0 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,270 minutes at five-on-five — 88th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alexis Lafrenière | 57.3% | 55.8% | 46.2% |
| Vincent Trocheck | 58.2% | 53.8% | 43.3% |
| Adam Fox | 63.4% | 53.3% | 47.8% |
57.3% together, 55.8% for him apart and 46.2% for Lafrenière apart. Lafrenière was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Lafrenière 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
434 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 51 of them goals. His median goal came from 24 feet. 16% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 32% from beyond forty.
