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
Fifty-one games, 12 goals and 11 assists with 1 on the power play, 13:11 a night and minus-6. He converted 17.91 per cent of 67 shots against a career 13.27 across 1,078.
He took 52.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 621 minutes, the 74th percentile, and his ice went 32-27 against an expectation of 26.36-23.45. Twelve goals on 67 shots at 35 is a conversion rate nobody sustains, and 23 points in 51 games is honest fourth-line production either way.
The Finesse Game
He shoots from a median of 24 feet with 46 per cent of his attempts from inside 20. One hundred and forty-three goals in 537 games at 13.27 per cent is a genuine finishing rate for a winger who has never played a first line in this league.
One hundred and seventy-eight career assists and 32 career power-play goals. The hands are good and the passing out of the corner is quick.
The Physical Game
He is 5-11 and 188 and plays no physical game at all. Eight penalty minutes in 51 games is one of the lower rates on the roster and there is nothing in it.
He does not win the wall and he does not kill penalties. The whole value is a shot from inside twenty-five feet.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick in 2007 out of Chelyabinsk who went home for four years, came back at 28, and has played 537 games and scored 321 points across five clubs since.
He is 35 and on the fourth line of a hundred-point club. Twelve goals in fifty-one games is exactly what that is worth.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 54 points above where the report does. 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. 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 201 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 57 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 · 621 minutes at five-on-five
- Jamie Benn55%
- Radek Faksanow STL15%
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
- DAL took 54.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.9% — 1.7 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 621 minutes at five-on-five — 27th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyatt Johnston | 53.6% | 51.7% | 59.4% |
| Jamie Benn | 51.7% | 54.7% | 57.1% |
| Thomas Harley | 54.3% | 52.2% | 54.8% |
53.6% together, 51.7% for him apart and 59.4% for Johnston apart. Johnston was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more 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
113 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 47% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 19% from beyond forty.
