No games in 2025-26. The season above is the last one he played, and everything on this page should be read with that gap in it.

Last Season

Four goals and six assists in 31 games — 10 points, minus-nine, at 15:47 a night with only ten penalty minutes.

Ten points in 34 career games.

The Finesse Game

Forty-one shots on goal in 31 games produced four goals, which is a high conversion for a young defenceman and almost certainly not a repeatable one.

Six assists in 31 games is a fair third-pair rate. The puck-moving is the reason he is here — the first pass is quick and he is comfortable carrying under pressure.

The Physical Game

Six foot one and 189 pounds, and light. Ten penalty minutes in 31 games is a low rate.

He does not clear a crease and loses net-front battles. The skating is good and the defending is the part that has kept him in the minors this long.

The Intangibles

A note on what is missing: he does not appear in the five-on-five on-ice files, so there are no chance-share or possession figures on this page.

The box score is all there is, and on a club that conceded 210 goals at five-on-five a minus-nine in thirty-one games is not information.

He is 24, a ninety-third overall pick who came from Tampa, and this is a seventh defenceman’s page on a blue line already carrying two twenty-year-olds.
