This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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
12 goals and 11 assists in 78 games for 23 points, minus-4, on 13:15 a night with a shorthanded goal.
49.2 per cent at five-on-five, the 43rd percentile — the second-lowest among the club’s regulars. 87 shots and 12 goals at 13.8 per cent, above his career rate.
The Finesse Game
Quick and tidy and short of impact. 23 points is a career high in his sixth NHL season and 87 shots is a low volume.
He skates well, does not lose the puck in bad places, and finishes a shift where it started. On this club that is a real job.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 191, and light. He does not forecheck with force and does not win pucks against defencemen.
14 penalty minutes over 78 games. The durability has been good since arriving here.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick, three organisations, and a career of being the thirteenth forward until this club found a use for him.
At 27 the projection is a fourth-line winger who scores 12. That is exactly what he is being paid for.

Goals while he was on the ice: 34 for, 32 against. Expected: 32.4 and 33.5.
The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 7 points of one another. 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.
Both bars are percentiles among the 357 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 70 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.
Usual linemates
2024-25 · 887 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, 2024-25
- The club
- FLA took 54.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.2% — 4.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 887 minutes at five-on-five — 43rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anton Lundell | 49.8% | 48.7% | 53.6% |
| Eetu Luostarinen | 47.9% | 49.9% | 52.0% |
| Niko Mikkola | 48.8% | 49.4% | 56.3% |
49.8% together, 48.7% for him apart and 53.6% for Lundell apart. Lundell 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
132 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 19 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 25% from beyond forty.
