Last Season

Fourteen goals and 16 assists in 78 games — 30 points, plus-16, at 13:55 a night with 19 penalty minutes.

The Finesse Game

More volume than the role suggests: 175 unblocked attempts in under fourteen minutes a night, thirteen goals, median 29 feet with 37 per cent from inside twenty.

That is a lot of shooting from middle distance for a checking forward, and fourteen goals is a career high by some way. Eighty-three points in 316 career games.

The Physical Game

Five foot ten and 187 pounds, and he plays a genuinely hard checking game for that size. Nineteen penalty minutes.

He forechecks, kills penalties, and takes defensive-zone draws, which is the entire job.

The Intangibles

Fifty point three per cent of the expected goals, 56th percentile, with the chances essentially level at 35.1 and 34.8 across 866 minutes.

The plus-16 is coming from the club rather than from the ice he was on — Pittsburgh finished thirty-five goals above its expected total.

Six points in his last ten. He is 27, a third-round pick, and exactly the kind of fourth-line centre a club carrying four men over thirty-six needs a lot of.
