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
82 games, 19 goals and 26 assists for 45 points, 3 on the power play, 42 penalty minutes, 16:07 a night and plus-15, with 3 game-winners. He took 49.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,169 minutes, the 52nd percentile, and his ice went 62-45 against an expectation of 51.73-51.98.
Ten goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and seven goals of goaltending above them. Sixty-two goals for in 1,169 minutes is the most of any forward on the club.
The Finesse Game
177 attempts at a median of 20 feet with 49 per cent of them from inside twenty and 9 per cent from beyond forty, 119 of those on goal, converted at 15.6 per cent against a career 17.11 across 602 shots.
103 career goals and 136 assists in 515 games. A career 17.11 per cent is the third-highest rate in this edition among men who have taken five hundred shots; only 9 per cent of his attempts came from beyond forty feet, which is the lowest share on the club.
The Physical Game
He is 6-0 and 203 and took 42 penalty minutes.
176 career penalty minutes in 515 games. He forechecks into people and wins the puck on the wall, and he goes to the front of the net on the power play at a size where that costs something every night.
The Intangibles
Thirty-third overall in 2014 by St. Louis, eight seasons, and Vegas is his second organisation.
A career plus-29 and 5 shorthanded goals in 515 games. He is 28, he played all 82 games for the second time, and 45 points at sixteen minutes a night is the second-highest total of his career.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 43 points above where the numbers do. 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 81 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 · 1169 minutes at five-on-five
- Jack Eichel57%
- Nicolas Roy22%
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
- VGK took 51.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.9% — 1.3 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,169 minutes at five-on-five — 80th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Marchessault | 49.7% | 50.2% | 52.0% |
| Jack Eichel | 52.1% | 46.9% | 57.8% |
| Brayden McNabb | 51.3% | 49.0% | 52.7% |
49.7% together, 50.2% for him apart and 52.0% for Marchessault apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
177 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 19 of them goals. His median goal came from 14 feet. 49% of his shots came from inside twenty feet.
