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
14 goals and 40 assists in 67 games — 54 points, plus-16, at 24:50 a night, the heaviest workload on the club. 15 games missed.
The Finesse Game
The skating is exceptional and it is the reason a defenceman plays 25 minutes at 23. He carries the puck out under pressure, joins as a fourth attacker, and gets back before the play turns.
14 goals from the blue line is a top-5 figure at the position: 238 unblocked attempts, median 48 feet, and he gets them through.
40 assists in 67 games is a first-pair rate.
The Physical Game
6-2, 202, and he defends with skating and stick. 8 penalty minutes in 67 games of the hardest minutes on a first-place defensive team, which is one of the most impressive discipline numbers in this book.
He is never beaten badly enough to have to foul.
The Intangibles
55.9 per cent of the expected goals, 91st percentile, and 55.8 per cent of the shot attempts, 92nd, with the chances 49.6 to 39.1 in his favour.
The goals went 52-40, which on this club is a good outcome — Ottawa’s goaltending cost 33.
8 points in his last 10. He is 23, the fifth pick in 2020, and already one of the 10 best defencemen in the league by the underlying numbers. Nobody outside Ontario talks about him.
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 eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 3 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 — 80 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.

Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2025-26
- The club
- OTT took 54.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 55.9% — 1.0 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First pair, 1,166 minutes at five-on-five — 79th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Artem Zub | 54.4% | 60.3% | 48.2% |
| Michael Amadio | 53.7% | 57.3% | 51.0% |
| Shane Pinto | 55.7% | 55.9% | 52.4% |
54.4% together, 60.3% for him apart and 48.2% for Zub apart. He was carrying it: the share stayed with him and left Zub behind.
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
238 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 33 feet. 11% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 67% from beyond forty.
