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 25 assists in 81 games — 35 points, minus-1, at 22:50 a night with 31 penalty minutes. His 5-on-5 work was done in Anaheim. His 906th career game.

The Finesse Game

Volume from the point and nothing else. 235 unblocked attempts from a median of 56 feet, 78 per cent of them from beyond 40, and 10 goals — a good conversion for shots taken from that far out.

25 assists in 81 games is a fair rate. 358 points in 906 games.

The Physical Game

6-3, 212, and among the more physical defencemen of the last decade — he hits hard, he clears the front of his net, and he has a long record of finishing checks that end badly for people.

31 penalty minutes across a full season of 23-minute nights is unusually disciplined given the reputation.

The Intangibles

49.8 per cent of the expected goals, 53rd percentile, and 52.1 per cent of the shot attempts, 75th, across 1,497 minutes in Anaheim — with the goals 60-70 against.

That is a good season in a very heavy workload, and it is worth saying plainly because he spent 5 years in New York being one of the most criticised defencemen in the league.

He is 32, a 9th overall pick, and arrives on a San Jose blue line that had nobody over the 50th percentile except a 35-year-old. Whatever he is now, he is an upgrade on what was 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 · 1,497 minutes

Expected goals: 49.8%; 53rd pct
Shot attempts: 52.1%; 75th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 60 for, 70 against. Expected: 67.7 and 68.4.

Numbers

53rd

The two rank him within 8 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

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 — 74 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 · 81 games

Top speed: 21.4 mph; 40th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.22 a game
Distance: 3.14 miles a game
Hardest shot: 96.5 mph; 85th 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 ANA · 1497 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: ANA took 50.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.8% — 0.8 below the club he did it on.
The role: First pair, 1,497 minutes at five-on-five — 97th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Jackson LaCombe	51.8%	47.0%	52.1%
Olen Zellweger	47.3%	50.8%	53.5%
Beckett Sennecke	49.8%	49.8%	52.1%

51.8% together, 47.0% for him apart and 52.1% for LaCombe apart. He was worse away from LaCombe, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than LaCombe did.

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

235 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 10 of them goals. His median goal came from 43 feet. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 78% from beyond forty.
