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
26 goals and 34 assists in 80 games — 60 points, plus-20, at 23:20 a night — the heaviest workload on the club — with 8 power-play goals and 62 penalty minutes.
His 621st career game and his 323rd point. 122 career goals from defence.
The Finesse Game
The shot is one of the two or three heaviest from any blue line in the league. 352 unblocked attempts from a median of 44 feet with 59 per cent from beyond 40, and 26 goals came out of it.
26 goals from a defenceman is the best figure at the position in this edition, and 8 of them came on the power play he runs.
34 assists is a fair rate on top of that.
The Physical Game
6-2, 215, and he defends adequately — closes gaps, finishes checks, does not clear a crease especially well. 62 penalty minutes.
The skating is genuinely good and it is why he can carry 23 minutes.
The Intangibles
50.3 per cent of the expected goals, 57th percentile, and 51.9 per cent of the shot attempts, 73rd, across 1,502 minutes, with the chances level at 68.7 and 67.8 — and the goals 83 for and 47 against.
That 36-goal margin on level chances is 35 better than the chances predicted — the largest such gap in this book — and it is the goaltending, which in Washington was the story.
9 points in his last 10, 3 of them goals. He is 28, and this is the best season of his career by 20 points.
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 report ranks him 32 points above where the numbers do. 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 — 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 88.9
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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matt Roy | 52.3% | 48.8% | 42.8% |
| Dylan Strome | 48.4% | 51.2% | 48.0% |
| Alex Ovechkin | 48.8% | 51.0% | 50.1% |
52.3% together, 48.8% for him apart and 42.8% for Roy 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
352 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 26 of them goals. His median goal came from 34 feet. 13% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 59% from beyond forty.
