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 12 assists in 74 games — 16 points, even in plus-minus, at 8:50 a night, the lightest workload of any regular on the club. His 5-on-5 work was done in Washington.

The Finesse Game

A playmaker by trade. 84 unblocked attempts, 4 goals, median 22 feet with 46 per cent from inside 20 — good ice, very little volume.

47 points in 158 career games. 12 assists in 74 games is the shape of a fourth-liner who is not being given anything to work with.

The Physical Game

6 foot even, 195, and light. 31 penalty minutes in 74 games says he competes.

He does not win wall battles and the game depends on finding space.

The Intangibles

56.4 per cent of the expected goals, 93rd percentile, and 54.3 per cent of the shot attempts, 87th, in 638 minutes.

Those are excellent numbers produced in under 9 minutes a night on a good club, which is the standard sheltered-fourth-liner warning — and they are good enough to be worth a look at more ice.

He is 24, a 22nd overall pick whose junior career was interrupted by serious concussions, and reaching 158 NHL games at all is more than most expected. Pittsburgh has room in the middle 6 that Washington did not.

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 · 638 minutes

Expected goals: 56.4%; 94th pct
Shot attempts: 54.3%; 88th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 25 for, 24 against. Expected: 30.3 and 23.4.

The eye and the numbers

27th

Numbers

94th

The numbers rank him 67 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 — 68 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 · 74 games

Top speed: 22.7 mph; 74th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.81 a game
Distance: 1.51 miles a game
Hardest shot: 84.1 mph; 45th 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.

Usual linemates

Brandon Duhaimenow TOR37%
Ethen Frank30%
Sonny Milanooff the roster27%

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: WSH took 49.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 56.4% — 6.9 above the club he did it on.
The role: 638 minutes at five-on-five — 26th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Jakob Chychrun	57.2%	55.8%	49.0%
Brandon Duhaime	58.2%	55.4%	42.6%
Matt Roy	54.6%	57.4%	46.2%

57.2% together, 55.8% for him apart and 49.0% for Chychrun apart. Chychrun was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Chychrun 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

84 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 46% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 14% from beyond forty.
