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
1 goal and 4 assists in 63 games — 5 points, even in plus-minus, at 14:49 a night with 25 penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
Almost none. 64 unblocked attempts from a median of 61 feet — the longest average distance in this edition — with 2 per cent inside 20, and 1 goal.
29 points in 207 career games. He is a defensive defenceman without the physical presence that usually accompanies the label.
The Physical Game
6-1, 196, and he defends with position rather than force. 25 penalty minutes in 63 games.
The Intangibles
46.3 per cent of the expected goals, 23rd percentile, and 45.3 per cent of the shot attempts, 14th, across 842 minutes.
1 point in his last 10.
He is 26, a first-round pick in 2018 on his second organisation, and a sixth defenceman. On a Detroit blue line where 4 of 6 regulars posted numbers in the bottom fifth, he is the least surprising of them and the least consequential.
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.
- perimeter· shoots from the outside, by choice or because he cannot get in
84.4% of his attempts from 40 feet or beyond, 96th percentile among defencemen

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe numbers rank him 21 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 — 60 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, 2025-26
- The club
- DET took 48.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.3% — 1.9 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third pair, 842 minutes at five-on-five — 41st percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Albert Johansson | 46.2% | 46.3% | 45.3% |
| Alex DeBrincat | 53.9% | 43.0% | 51.6% |
| J.T. Compher | 35.4% | 50.4% | 46.6% |
46.2% together, 46.3% for him apart and 45.3% for Johansson 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
64 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 35 feet. 2% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 84% from beyond forty.
