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

10 goals and 17 assists in all 82 games — 27 points, plus-15, at 14:29 a night with 31 penalty minutes. His 5-on-5 work was done in Colorado.

The Finesse Game

Modest and well placed. 148 unblocked attempts, 10 goals, median 25 feet with 34 per cent from inside 20.

82 points in 268 career games. He is not going to score and the club is not asking; the 17 assists come from playing a simple, quick supporting game.

The Physical Game

5-11, 186, and he plays a hard checking game for his size. 31 penalty minutes.

He wins faceoffs and kills penalties, which for a fourth-line centre is the entire job description.

The Intangibles

57.5 per cent of the expected goals — 98th percentile — across 997 minutes, with the chances 41.4 to 30.6 in his favour.

The caveat is loud: Colorado was the second-best possession team in the league and this was a fourth-line checking role inside it. Every Avalanche forward in this book carries a number like that.

Still: plus-15 with the chances agreeing is a real season, and a fourth-line centre who does not sink a line is worth having on a Nashville club whose bottom 6 was outchanced all year.

He is 26, a second-round pick, and the son of an NHL general manager. Ask again after a season here.

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 · 997 minutes

Expected goals: 57.5%; 97th pct
Shot attempts: 58.4%; 97th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 40 for, 30 against. Expected: 41.4 and 30.6.

The eye and the numbers

67th

Numbers

97th

The numbers rank him 30 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 — 75 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 · 82 games

Top speed: 22.1 mph; 44th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.61 a game
Distance: 2.29 miles a game
Hardest shot: 84.4 mph; 47th 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

2025-26 with COL · 997 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, 2025-26

The club: COL took 56.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 57.5% — 0.6 above the club he did it on.
The role: Third line, 997 minutes at five-on-five — 60th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Parker Kelly	59.2%	56.1%	52.5%
Victor Olofsson	57.4%	57.6%	51.8%
Sam Malinski	65.1%	52.6%	58.7%

59.2% together, 56.1% for him apart and 52.5% for Kelly 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

148 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 10 of them goals. His median goal came from 22 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 18% from beyond forty.
