This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
79 games, 6 goals and 8 assists for 14 points, 98 penalty minutes, 18:37 a night and minus-3. He took 50.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,251 minutes, the 53rd percentile, and his ice went 44-56 against an expectation of 50.17-49.98.
Six goals of scoring that did not arrive and six more conceded than the chances called for — both ends going wrong at once on an even chance share, which is where the minus-3 comes from and none of it is structural.
The Finesse Game
103 shots at a median of 50 feet with 71 per cent from beyond 40, converted at 5.8 per cent against a career 4.19.
30 career assists in 288 games. Six goals is a career high by three and there is nothing else to say about the offence. He gets the puck off the wall and out, and he does not carry it.
The Physical Game
He hits everything at 6-3 and 225, and 316 career penalty minutes in 288 games is what that produces.
He will fight anybody, clears the crease, and takes liberties on men who have already been beaten. Ninety-eight minutes in seventy-nine games on a club that spends the ninth-most time shorthanded in hockey is a real charge against the value.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick in 2015 out of Val-d’Or, six seasons across three organisations, and 44 points in 288 games.
He is 27 and plays eighteen and a half minutes on the top pair of a club that finished eleventh. That is more than a player of this description usually gets, and the chance share says it was earned.
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.

- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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
HindsightThe numbers rank him 30 points above where the report does. It was written for a back edition, with the seasons that followed already known. Neither the agreement nor the gap says anything about the eye, and this report is excluded from the club-level comparison for the same reason. 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 63 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.
Usual linemates

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, 2023-24
- The club
- NSH took 52.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.1% — 2.4 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- First pair, 1,251 minutes at five-on-five — 86th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alexandre Carrier | 49.5% | 51.0% | 54.2% |
| Filip Forsberg | 48.1% | 51.0% | 56.8% |
| Gustav Nyquist | 49.0% | 50.6% | 53.8% |
49.5% together, 51.0% for him apart and 54.2% for Carrier apart. Carrier was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for him.
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
150 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 6 of them goals. His median goal came from 38 feet. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 71% from beyond forty.
