Anaheim Ducks Center
Two penalty minutes in forty-six games, and his ice came out 14-17 on a team that lost fifty.

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
5 goals and 6 assists in 46 games — 11 points at 14:20 a night, minus-1, with 1 shorthanded goal on 38 shots, converting at 13.16 per cent, and 2 penalty minutes.
Two penalty minutes in forty-six games is the lowest rate on this roster and one of the lowest in the edition.
48.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 539 minutes, the 43rd percentile. His ice went 14-17 against an expectation of 18.22-19.22 — twelve goals scored above expectation and two conceded below it, on a club that was outscored by ninety-one. It is 539 minutes and it should be read as such, but it is the only positive goal differential on the roster.
The Finesse Game
38 attempts at a median of 12 feet, with 65 per cent from inside 20 and 11 per cent from beyond 40 — the most net-front shot profile on this club by a distance.
He does not shoot much and when he does it is from the paint. Five goals on thirty-eight shots at 13.16 per cent is what shot selection looks like.
6 assists. He is not a creator and the club does not ask him to be.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 192. He forechecks honestly without punishing anybody, and the defending is positional.
Two penalty minutes in forty-six games and 28 in 258 career games. He does not retaliate, he does not take liberties, and there is not a single unnecessary minor in the season.
The Intangibles
Twenty-third overall in 2018, out of Luleå, and 258 games at 24, all of them here.
He wins the draw that begins a penalty kill and he is the first forward over the boards a man short. A first-round pick who becomes a defensively responsible third-line centre is not the outcome anyone drafted, and it is a genuinely useful NHL player.
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.

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 eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 17 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 64 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, 2023-24
- The club
- ANA took 45.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.7% — 2.8 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 539 minutes at five-on-five — 20th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jakob Silfverberg | 54.2% | 40.8% | 46.9% |
| Cam Fowler | 48.0% | 49.0% | 44.2% |
| Radko Gudas | 56.9% | 45.5% | 47.0% |
54.2% together, 40.8% for him apart and 46.9% for Silfverberg 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
62 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 24 feet. 66% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 11% from beyond forty.
