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

19 goals and 39 assists in 80 games — 58 points, plus-2, at 18:02 a night with 6 power-play goals and 46 penalty minutes.

His 598th career game and his 442nd point. 277 career assists.

The Finesse Game

A genuine playmaking centre. 198 unblocked attempts produced 23 goals — a very high conversion — from a median of 20 feet with 51 per cent from inside 20.

39 assists is the fourth straight season above 35, and setting up Ovechkin has been a large part of his job for 4 years.

The Physical Game

6-4 and 200 pounds, which is tall and thin, and he does not play to the size. 46 penalty minutes.

The skating is the limitation and always has been — he was the third pick in 2015 and it took 3 organisations before anybody found a role that did not require him to skate.

The Intangibles

48.2 per cent of the expected goals, 39th percentile, and 48.8 per cent of the shot attempts, 43rd, across 1,096 minutes, with the chances 50.0 to 53.8 against.

Those are below-average numbers under a 58-point season, and the plus-2 on top is Thompson.

9 points in his last 10, 4 of them goals. He is 29, and a first-line centre by usage on a club whose underlying numbers say he is a second-line one.

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 underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 1,096 minutes

Expected goals: 48.2%; 39th pct
Shot attempts: 48.8%; 44th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 61 for, 48 against. Expected: 50.0 and 53.8.

Numbers

39th

The report ranks him 28 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 — 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 80 games

Top speed: 22.0 mph; 39th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.35 a game
Distance: 2.97 miles a game
Hardest shot: 83.9 mph; 43rd 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

2025-26 · 1096 minutes at five-on-five

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: WSH took 49.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.2% — 1.3 below the club he did it on.
The role: First line, 1,096 minutes at five-on-five — 71st percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Alex Ovechkin	49.7%	45.2%	49.1%
Anthony Beauvillier	49.0%	47.4%	47.6%
Jakob Chychrun	48.4%	48.0%	51.2%

49.7% together, 45.2% for him apart and 49.1% for Ovechkin apart. He was worse away from Ovechkin, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Ovechkin 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

198 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 23 of them goals. His median goal came from 10 feet. 51% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
