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

45 games, 4 goals and 10 assists for 14 points, 6 penalty minutes, 12:03 a night and minus-7. He took 46.3 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 532 minutes, the 27th percentile, and his ice went 18-22 against an expectation of 18.31-21.24.

Level at both ends in a small sample. Fourteen points in forty-five games at twelve minutes a night is a thirteenth-forward season.

The Finesse Game

47 attempts at a median of 13 feet with 66 per cent from inside 20, 41 on goal, converted at 9.8 per cent against a career 11.72.

21 career assists in 132 games. That shot chart is a man who goes to the net and only to the net, and four goals on forty-one shots says the hands are not good enough to profit from it. Forty-seven attempts in forty-five games is almost no volume.

The Physical Game

He is 6-3 and 214 and goes to the front of the net and stays.

24 career penalty minutes in 132 games is a very low rate. He forechecks hard, wins some walls, and does not fight or take liberties.

The Intangibles

A fourth-round pick in 2013 by Los Angeles, out of Apple Valley, Minnesota, seven seasons across three organisations, and 36 points in 132 games.

He is 29 and has 132 games in seven seasons. This is a thirteenth forward and the club has several.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report

Numbers
28th

The two rank him within 2 points of one another. 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.

Both bars are percentiles among the 437 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 62 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 · 532 minutes at five-on-five

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
NYI took 49.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.3% — 2.8 below the club he did it on.
The role
532 minutes at five-on-five — 19th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Casey Cizikas43.0%47.8%48.0%

53.4% together, 41.5% for him apart and 47.9% for Romanov 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

47 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 8 feet. 66% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
