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
5 goals and 21 assists in 67 games, plus-3, at 21:37 a night. 15 games missed.
The Finesse Game
A calm first pass and a good enough set of feet to make it from under pressure. He is not a rushing defenceman and has not been for years; he moves it up and lets forwards carry.
The shot is a point shot and nothing more — 71 per cent of his attempts came from beyond 40 feet, median 48, 5 goals.
The Physical Game
6-4, 217, and he defends with reach and body position rather than violence. 58 penalty minutes is a veteran defenceman taking the ones that stop a chance.
The Intangibles
On a club whose blue line posted almost uniformly poor on-ice rates, he is the exception: 50.5 per cent of the expected goals and 51.1 per cent of the shot attempts, 68th and 70th percentile. Modest numbers in isolation, and the best on the team by a clear margin.
The goals went 47-47 in his favour, which is the rare Boston plus-figure that the expected goals do not immediately undercut.
He is 32 with 829 games behind him and has missed 15 or more in 3 of the last 4 seasons. What he gives you when available is a defence pair that does not leak. The question is how many nights that is.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 4 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.
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 — 73 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
- BOS took 48.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.5% — 2.5 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second pair, 1,124 minutes at five-on-five — 74th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason Lohrei | 50.8% | 50.3% | 45.6% |
| Andrew Peeke | 44.4% | 52.9% | 45.4% |
| David Pastrnak | 52.7% | 49.4% | 46.7% |
50.8% together, 50.3% for him apart and 45.6% for Lohrei apart. Lohrei was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Lohrei 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
144 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 49 feet. 8% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 71% from beyond forty.
