Last Season
No goals and three assists in 56 games — three points, minus-15, at 9:22 a night with 50 penalty minutes.
His 608th career game.
The Finesse Game
Sixty-three unblocked attempts with 54 per cent from inside twenty feet and a median of nineteen — genuinely good ice — and not one of them went in.
That is the strangest line on this page: a forechecking winger who found the slot sixty-three times and scored nothing.
A hundred and eighty-three points in 608 career games. Three assists in 56 games is close to the lowest offensive return in this edition.
The Physical Game
Six foot even, 189, and he plays one of the most relentlessly physical games in the league at that weight — he forechecks at full speed every shift, finishes every check, and has the injury record to show for it.
Fifty penalty minutes in nine minutes a night is a very high rate.
The Intangibles
Forty-seven point four per cent of the expected goals, 30th percentile, and 49.1 per cent of the shot attempts, 47th, across 509 minutes.
The goals went 35-26 in his favour despite him scoring none of them.
One point in his last ten. He is 34, undrafted out of Providence, and one of the fastest skaters in the league for a decade. A season with no goals at 34 is usually the last chapter.

The eye and the numbers
The numbers are colder on him than this report is — worth asking who he played with, and against whom.
