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
All 82 games, 27 goals and 56 assists for 83 points, 7 on the power play, 12 penalty minutes, 19:18 a night and minus-6. He took 56.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,148 minutes, the 93rd percentile, and his ice went 70-55 against an expectation of 61.05-46.83.
Nine goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and eight more conceded than they called for. Eighty-three points is the best total on the club and the 93rd percentile is the best chance share of anybody who played for it last season.
The Finesse Game
248 shots at a median of 25 feet with 40 per cent from inside 20, converted at 10.9 per cent against a career 12.29.
230 career assists in 471 games. He is a passer before he is anything else and the release is quick enough that defenders have to respect both. He carries the puck into the zone rather than dumping it, which on a line with Jack Hughes means two men who will not give it up.
The Physical Game
He is 5-10 and 175 and plays no physical game at all.
12 penalty minutes in 82 games is one of the lowest rates in the league. He does not forecheck by force, does not win the wall, and is easily moved off a puck.
The Intangibles
A sixth-round pick in 2016 out of Stockholm, seven seasons, and 359 points in 471 games, all of it for one organisation.
He is 26 and has gone 73, 73 and 83 points in three seasons. A 162nd-overall pick who became the best forward on a club that had two first-overall picks in its top six.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 5 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 379 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 75 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

- Ondrej Palat30%
- Jack Hughes27%
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
- NJD took 50.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 56.6% — 5.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,148 minutes at five-on-five — 78th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nico Hischier | 57.1% | 55.9% | 46.7% |
| Luke Hughes | 59.0% | 55.3% | 48.7% |
| John Marino | 55.1% | 57.4% | 46.4% |
57.1% together, 55.9% for him apart and 46.7% for Hischier apart. Hischier was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Hischier 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
349 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 27 of them goals. His median goal came from 21 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 16% from beyond forty.
