This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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
10 goals and 11 assists in 67 games — 21 points at 11:52 a night, plus-5, with 58 penalty minutes and 2 shorthanded goals.
53.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 85th percentile, across 668 minutes. His ice went 37-36 against an expectation of 26.88-23.11 — a fourth line that outscored a fourth-line expectation, which almost nobody else on this club managed.
The Finesse Game
80 attempts at a median of 25 feet with 41 per cent from inside 20, converting at 12.5 per cent. 10 goals from a fourth-line winger at 34 is a good season and it comes from going to the net.
11 assists in 67 games. There is no creation here and there does not need to be; he is on the ice to forecheck, to kill penalties and to make somebody else’s night unpleasant.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 212 and one of the genuinely hard men in the league. He forechecks first and finishes everything, he fights, and he has been doing it for ten seasons.
58 penalty minutes in 67 games, and 680 in 606 career games. He crosses the line on purpose, he draws the response, and a club that is 30th on the power play needs somebody who does.
The Intangibles
Undrafted out of Brown University, and 606 NHL games later he is on his fourth organisation and has never been anything other than exactly this.
He is 33, he kills penalties on a unit that finished 10th in the league, and on a roster this young he is one of two men who have played a playoff round.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 36 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 72 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.

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, 2024-25
- The club
- PHI took 52.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 53.8% — 1.7 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 668 minutes at five-on-five — 26th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Poehling | 55.3% | 52.3% | 49.9% |
| Travis Sanheim | 56.0% | 52.0% | 53.3% |
| Scott Laughton | 56.9% | 51.7% | 49.4% |
55.3% together, 52.3% for him apart and 49.9% for Poehling apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
114 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 10 of them goals. His median goal came from 25 feet. 41% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 20% from beyond forty.
