Boone Jenner
Columbus Blue Jackets Center
26 games, a captaincy, and a season lost to injury on a club that needed him for reasons the standings do not record.

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
7 goals and 12 assists in 26 games for 19 points, plus-3, on 17:59 a night.
54 per cent of his shots came from inside 20 feet at a median of 18, which has been the profile of his whole career. 26 games is the number, and it followed a season of 27.
The Finesse Game
Limited and used precisely. He is a net-front and inside-lane scorer with a quick release in traffic and no rush game at all — 70 shots in 26 games is a high rate and it comes entirely from being in the right place.
The playmaking is functional. He has scored 20 or more four times by doing exactly one thing well, which is arriving where it hurts.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 204, and among the more relentlessly physical forwards in the league. He hits, he blocks shots, he goes to the paint, and he has never adjusted the temperature.
The body has now given way twice in two seasons — 26 games and 27 the year before — and at 32 that is the whole question. A career built on being hit is a career with a fixed length.
The Intangibles
The captain, thirteen seasons in one organisation, and the man who spoke for the club in the worst month of its history.
Whatever a scouting report can measure, it does not measure that. What it can say is that a 32-year-old power forward who has played 53 games in two years should be planned around rather than counted on.
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.
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- ordinaryraised, and called ordinary
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.
“He is a net-front and inside-lane scorer with a quick release in traffic and no rush game at all”
“6-2 and 204, and among the more relentlessly physical forwards in the league.”
“he blocks shots”
“The playmaking is functional.”
“The captain, thirteen seasons in one organisation, and the man who spoke for the club in the worst month of its history.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 21 points above where the numbers do. 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 — 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, 2024-25
- The club
- CBJ took 48.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.6% — 2.3 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- 309 minutes at five-on-five — 6th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent Johnson | 53.7% | 44.8% | 46.6% |
| Zach Werenski | 63.1% | 39.3% | 52.5% |
| Ivan Provorov | 38.1% | 59.0% | 47.7% |
53.7% together, 44.8% for him apart and 46.6% for Johnson apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
105 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 54% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
