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
17 goals and 12 assists in all 82 games — 29 points, minus-12, at 14:35 a night with 47 penalty minutes.
His 323rd career game.
The Finesse Game
205 unblocked attempts, 16 goals, median 21 feet with 49 per cent from inside 20 — good ice and a fair conversion.
17 goals is a career high. 12 assists in a full season is the flat truth about everything else, and 104 points in 323 career games is the honest rate.
The Physical Game
6-4 and 209 pounds, and quick for the size — the combination is why an undrafted forward out of Dartmouth has 300 NHL games. 47 penalty minutes.
He forechecks hard, goes to the net, and is difficult to defend on a straight line.
The Intangibles
45.1 per cent of the expected goals, 15th percentile, and 47.9 per cent of the shot attempts, 35th, across 1,059 minutes, with the goals 36 for and 48 against.
That 3-point gap between attempts and chances is the wrong way round and it is the whole club: Vancouver finished 46.5 per cent in attempts and 43.5 per cent in expected goals, second-worst in the league behind Chicago.
2 points in his last 10. He is 28, and on a better team he is a useful third-line winger who scores 15.
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 eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 45 points above where the numbers do. 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.
Both 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 — 74 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 83.6
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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filip Hronek | 45.8% | 44.6% | 44.7% |
| Marcus Pettersson | 43.0% | 46.1% | 42.4% |
| Aatu Räty | 45.0% | 45.1% | 43.2% |
45.8% together, 44.6% for him apart and 44.7% for Hronek apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
205 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 16 of them goals. His median goal came from 17 feet. 49% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 16% from beyond forty.
