Fedor Svechkov
Colorado Avalanche Center
A first-round Russian centre in a fourth-line role, defensively sound and offensively invisible.

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
4 goals and 17 points in 70 games, minus-6, on 12 minutes a night. Across 122 career games he has 34 points.
The Finesse Game
The offence has not arrived and may not. 70 shots in 70 games is a low volume, and the 4 goals reflect a player who is not being asked to score and would struggle if he were.
What is genuinely good is the defensive detail. He reads the play, supports the puck, and takes faceoffs competently for a young centre — which is why he has held an NHL job at 22 despite producing nothing.
The Physical Game
6 feet and 187, and he is willing rather than imposing. He blocks shots and gets in lanes.
The Intangibles
The nineteenth pick in 2021 and drafted as a two-way centre rather than a scorer, so the profile is not a disappointment so much as a low ceiling arriving early.
At 22 there is time for offence to develop, and the honest read is that a fourth-line centre who kills penalties is the likeliest outcome. That is a career.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 28 points above where the numbers do. 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 — 74 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.

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
- NSH took 47.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.6% — 0.2 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 784 minutes at five-on-five — 37th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tyson Jost | 45.7% | 48.7% | 46.4% |
| Matthew Wood | 50.1% | 46.5% | 42.6% |
| Roman Josi | 46.9% | 47.9% | 48.5% |
45.7% together, 48.7% for him apart and 46.4% for Jost apart. He was better away from Jost, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Jost.
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
100 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 20 feet. 36% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 14% from beyond forty.
