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
37 goals and 52 assists in 80 games — 89 points, minus-9, at 19:41 a night on 237 shots at 15.6 per cent.
50.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 59th percentile, across 1,186 minutes. And the goals with him on the ice were 33-49 against an expectation of 52.86-51.65. An even chance share and a sixteen-goal deficit is the single strangest number in this chapter, and it is not one man’s doing.
The Finesse Game
The best puck-handler in this chapter and one of the better ones in the league. He slows a play down at full speed, holds it until a defenceman commits, and finds a man through a lane that was not there when he started — 568 career assists is the record and it is still the first thing on the page.
The shot is now the co-equal half. 37 goals at 15.6 per cent from a median of 35 feet is a scorer’s return without a scorer’s shot chart: only 12 per cent of his attempts came from inside 20 feet. He beats a goaltender by changing the angle and by releasing early, not by getting closer.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 176 and among the lightest forwards in the league playing top-line minutes. He does not win a wall, he is not going to the front of the net, and 16 penalty minutes in 80 games says he does not engage in a way that costs anybody anything.
He survives by being difficult to catch and by giving the puck up a half-second before the hit arrives. It works for 82 games and it is the part of his game a playoff series has repeatedly found.
The Intangibles
Undrafted out of Russia, ten NHL seasons, 870 points, and one year left on his contract.
He turns 34 in October. The production has not fallen — 89 points is a 30-goal, 50-assist season by any standard — and the questions attached to him have never been about the regular season. That is the whole file: the best player on the roster, and the one the record says has not decided a series.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 8 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 496 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 75 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 · 1186 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
- NYR took 47.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.6% — 2.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,186 minutes at five-on-five — 83rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vincent Trocheck | 51.3% | 48.4% | 38.5% |
| Alexis Lafrenière | 50.8% | 50.2% | 45.3% |
| Adam Fox | 54.8% | 48.0% | 52.8% |
51.3% together, 48.4% for him apart and 38.5% for Trocheck apart. Trocheck was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Trocheck 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
393 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 37 of them goals. His median goal came from 27 feet. 12% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 36% from beyond forty.
