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
82 games, 27 goals and 40 assists for 67 points, 6 on the power play, 22 penalty minutes, 17:57 a night and minus-13, with 5 game-winners. He took 54.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,170 minutes, the 83rd percentile, and his ice went 48-55 against an expectation of 54.73-46.16.
Seven goals of finishing below what the chances were worth and nine more conceded than they called for. Fifty-four point two per cent of the chances is the highest share of any forward on this club and the ledger went the other way anyway.
The Finesse Game
240 attempts at a median of 20 feet with 50 per cent of them from inside twenty and 15 per cent from beyond forty, 171 of those on goal, converted at 16.0 per cent against a career 14.66 across 798 shots.
185 career assists and 117 goals in 436 games. Half his attempts came from inside twenty feet and he is 6-4; the puck goes to the slot because he carries it there, and 40 assists says the pass out of the corner is at least as good as the shot.
The Physical Game
He is 6-4 and 200 and took 22 penalty minutes.
132 career penalty minutes in 436 games. He is tall and light for the size and does not play a heavy game; the puck is protected with reach rather than with weight and there is very little forechecking damage in it.
The Intangibles
Third overall in 2015 by Arizona, eight seasons, and Washington is his third organisation.
A career minus-47 and 302 points in 436 games. He was the third pick in his draft, has played for three clubs, and has scored 65 and 67 points in the two seasons since he arrived here.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 10 points of one another. 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.
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 — 80 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.

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
- WSH took 47.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 54.2% — 7.0 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,170 minutes at five-on-five — 80th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alex Ovechkin | 52.9% | 55.6% | 39.4% |
| John Carlson | 56.2% | 52.6% | 43.2% |
| Tom Wilson | 59.4% | 50.7% | 40.7% |
52.9% together, 55.6% for him apart and 39.4% for Ovechkin apart. Ovechkin was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Ovechkin 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
240 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 29 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 51% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
