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

11 goals and 20 assists in 69 games — 31 points, minus-16, at 17:00 a night. His 5-on-5 work was done in Florida.

The Finesse Game

A useful, versatile forward who has made a long career out of being the fourth man on a good line. 240 unblocked attempts, 12 goals, median 34 feet with only 30 per cent from inside 20.

That is a lot of shooting from the outside for 11 goals, and 107 goals in 616 career games is the honest rate.

20 assists is where the value is.

The Physical Game

5-11, 182, and light. 38 penalty minutes. He does not go to the net front and does not win pucks by force; the game is speed and support.

The Intangibles

54.4 per cent of the expected goals, 85th percentile, with the chances 40.9 to 34.3 in his favour — and the goals 33-45 against, on a club whose goaltending was 40 goals worse than the chances faced.

The minus-16 belongs to Markstrom.

He is 32, undrafted out of Boston University, with a Stanley Cup. He returns to a New Jersey club that needs finishing more than it needs another perimeter shooter, which is the one awkward note on an otherwise useful page.

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 · 933 minutes

Expected goals: 54.4%; 85th pct
Shot attempts: 54.5%; 89th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 33 for, 45 against. Expected: 40.9 and 34.3.

The eye and the numbers

Report

33rd

Numbers

85th

The numbers rank him 52 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.

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 — 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 69 games

Top speed: 22.1 mph; 40th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.06 a game
Distance: 2.72 miles a game
Hardest shot: 90.0 mph; 83rd 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.

Each bar is one game by points. Filled bars are games he scored in.

Usual linemates

2025-26 with FLA · 933 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: FLA took 50.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 54.4% — 4.0 above the club he did it on.
The role: First line, 933 minutes at five-on-five — 52nd percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Sam Reinhart	52.1%	56.0%	51.7%
Gustav Forsling	57.3%	52.7%	51.0%
Mackie Samoskevich	60.1%	51.0%	53.0%

52.1% together, 56.0% for him apart and 51.7% for Reinhart apart. He was better away from Reinhart, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Reinhart.

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 2025-26, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 31% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 33% from beyond forty.
