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
16 goals and 13 assists in 53 games — 29 points at 15:10 a night, minus-3, with 1 power-play goal and 3 game-winners on 110 shots, converting at 14.55 per cent, and 6 penalty minutes.
Six penalty minutes in fifty-three games is one of the lowest rates in this edition.
48.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 671 minutes, the 43rd percentile. His ice went 33-29 against an expectation of 28.18-29.61 — five goals scored above expectation.
The Finesse Game
110 attempts at a median of 37 feet, with 35 per cent from beyond 40 and 19 per cent from inside 20, converting at 14.55 per cent — a very high rate from that distance and the reason for sixteen goals in fifty-three games.
The release is heavy and it goes in from range, which is a rare and valuable profile and the whole of why he is in the lineup.
13 assists. He is a shooter and the passing is ordinary.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 203. He does not forecheck with force and he does not win pucks on the wall, and the game is played away from contact.
6 penalty minutes in 53 games and 32 in 145 for his career. He does not agitate and he does not retaliate, and there is almost nothing unnecessary in the season.
The Intangibles
Twenty-first overall in 2020, out of Omsk, and 145 games and 56 points at 23 across three interrupted seasons.
Sixteen goals in fifty-three games is a twenty-five-goal rate and he has never played seventy in a season. On a club with nine top-ten picks and no scoring, a first-round winger who converts at 14.55 per cent from thirty-seven feet is worth more attention than he gets.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 3 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 201 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 63 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
2023-24 · 671 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, 2023-24
- The club
- CBJ took 45.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.8% — 2.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 671 minutes at five-on-five — 30th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kirill Marchenko | 48.3% | 49.2% | 43.7% |
| Dmitri Voronkov | 51.8% | 46.2% | 47.9% |
| Zach Werenski | 46.2% | 50.3% | 47.6% |
48.3% together, 49.2% for him apart and 43.7% for Marchenko apart. Marchenko was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Marchenko 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
171 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 16 of them goals. His median goal came from 31 feet. 20% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 35% from beyond forty.
