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
21 goals and 21 assists in 72 games — 42 points, minus-2, at 13:29 a night.
The Finesse Game
A shooter with a genuinely quick release. 220 unblocked attempts, 24 goals, median 33 feet with only 27 per cent from inside 20 and 28 per cent from beyond 40.
That is a long way out for 21 goals in 13 minutes a night, and it works because the shot beats goaltenders clean rather than through traffic. It is also the least repeatable way to score.
21 assists is fair.
The Physical Game
6-1, 203, and he avoids the interior. 10 penalty minutes in 72 games is very low.
There is no forechecking game and no wall play — the entire proposition is finding space and shooting from it.
The Intangibles
50.8 per cent of the expected goals, 61st percentile, with the goals 42-36 in his favour across 857 minutes.
11 points in his last 10, 5 of them goals.
He is 25, a 21st overall pick who spent 4 difficult seasons in Columbus, and 113 points in 247 games. Pittsburgh finished 4th at generating even-strength offence, and a shooter of this kind is a reasonable bet on a club that manufactures chances rather than one that needs them created.
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.
- perimeter· shoots from the outside, by choice or because he cannot get in
28.2% of his attempts from 40 feet or beyond, 91st percentile among forwards

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe numbers rank him 29 points above where the report does. 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.
The same player was graded a second time from his biography and his box score alone, with the measured record withheld. That reading lands 29 points from the numbers; this one lands 29. Across the whole control the two distances come out the same, which is worth knowing in both directions: the arithmetic on both sides of the sighted reading did not buy it any accuracy, and it did not cost it any either.
All three 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 — 69 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thomas Novak | 54.2% | 48.6% | 55.5% |
| Evgeni Malkin | 54.1% | 48.7% | 51.2% |
| Parker Wotherspoon | 50.3% | 51.0% | 51.3% |
54.2% together, 48.6% for him apart and 55.5% for Novak apart. He was worse away from Novak, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Novak 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
220 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 24 of them goals. His median goal came from 23 feet. 27% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 28% from beyond forty.
