This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
74 games with Boston, 17 goals and 19 assists for 36 points, 1 on the power play, 1 shorthanded, 28 penalty minutes, 14:28 a night and plus-16, with 4 game-winners. He took 49.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 951 minutes, the 51st percentile, and his ice went 47-33 against an expectation of 38.39-38.62.
Nine goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and six goals of goaltending above them. Seventeen goals is the second-highest total of his career and it came at fourteen and a half minutes a night.
The Finesse Game
161 attempts at a median of 25 feet with 40 per cent of them from inside twenty and 21 per cent from beyond forty, 113 of those on goal, converted at 14.3 per cent against a career 10.96 across 794 shots.
Eighty-seven career goals and 125 assists in 487 games. He finds the quiet ice inside the dots and arrives there without the puck, which is a skill that only shows up in the chart; forty per cent of his attempts from inside twenty feet at fourteen minutes a night is the whole of his value.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 187 and took 28 penalty minutes.
100 career penalty minutes in 487 games. He is tall and light and plays a careful game at both ends; there is no contact in it and there is no penalty trouble either.
The Intangibles
One hundred and sixteenth overall in 2014 by Boston, eight seasons, and Vancouver will be his fourth organisation.
A career plus-26 and 14 game-winners in 487 games. He is 29, he has played for three clubs and gone back to one of them, and he has never scored fewer than 22 points in a season of more than sixty games.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 25 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 652 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

- Pavel Zacha25%
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, 2023-24
- The club
- BOS took 49.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.8% — 0.1 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 951 minutes at five-on-five — 52nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charlie McAvoy | 53.0% | 48.2% | 50.3% |
| Brandon Carlo | 45.8% | 51.8% | 46.2% |
| Hampus Lindholm | 52.9% | 48.6% | 51.1% |
53.0% together, 48.2% for him apart and 50.3% for McAvoy apart. He was worse away from McAvoy, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than McAvoy did.
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
161 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 17 of them goals. His median goal came from 15 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
