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

4 goals and 22 assists in 74 games — 26 points, plus-5, at 22:32 a night.

The Finesse Game

A puck-mover by trade. The first pass is quick and accurate and he is comfortable carrying under pressure, which is the reason a 14th overall pick plays these minutes.

The shot is not a factor: 138 unblocked attempts, median 39 feet, 4 goals. 22 assists is a fair return and most of it is the outlet rather than anything created.

The Physical Game

6 foot even, 194, and light for the workload. 28 penalty minutes. He defends with stick and positioning, and is moved out of his own net front by heavy forwards.

The Intangibles

49.7 per cent of the expected goals, 52nd percentile, against only 46.3 per cent of the shot attempts, 21st, across 1,309 minutes.

That is the Philadelphia bargain taken to its extreme, and it works: the goals went 53-50 in his favour.

No points in his last 10. He is 25, and on a blue line with Sanheim, Drysdale and Ristolainen he is the third or fourth option who plays 22 minutes, which says more about the club’s depth than about him.

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.

measuredcomputed here from the season's own data

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.

The numbers rank him 20 points above where the report does. 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.

The same player was graded a second time from his biography and his box score alone, with the measured record withheld. That reading lands 15 points from the numbers; this one lands 20. Across the whole control the two distances come out the same, which is worth knowing in both directions: the arithmetic on both sides of the sighted reading did not buy it any accuracy, and it did not cost it any either.

All three 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 — 69 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 74 games

Top speed: 22.1 mph; 68th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.34 a game
Distance: 3.16 miles a game
Hardest shot: 93.1 mph; 66th pct

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.

Usual linemates

Travis Sanheim52%

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: PHI took 50.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.7% — 0.8 below the club he did it on.
The role: First pair, 1,309 minutes at five-on-five — 89th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Travis Sanheim	49.0%	50.5%	52.7%
Jamie Drysdale	48.9%	50.2%	51.8%
Travis Konecny	49.0%	50.0%	48.6%

49.0% together, 50.5% for him apart and 52.7% for Sanheim apart. Sanheim 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

138 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 35 feet. 22% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 47% from beyond forty.
