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, 22 goals and 28 assists for 50 points, 2 on the power play, 37 penalty minutes, 16:11 a night and minus-13, with 2 game-winners. He took 51.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,115 minutes, the 66th percentile, and his ice went 49-54 against an expectation of 49.26-45.80.
Level with the chances at his own end and eight more conceded than they called for. Fifty points and 22 goals are both career highs.
The Finesse Game
243 attempts at a median of 26 feet with 42 per cent of them from inside twenty, 182 of those on goal, converted at 12.1 per cent against a career 12.63 across 649 shots.
100 career assists in 334 games. Forty-two per cent of his attempts from inside twenty feet is a winger who goes to the net rather than around it, and the career rate is 12.63 per cent across 649 shots. Seven career power-play goals in 334 games is the thin part.
The Physical Game
He is 6-0 and 186 and took 37 penalty minutes.
195 career penalty minutes in 334 games. He gets to the front of the net without being able to stay there against size, and he is moved off pucks on the wall. The willingness is not the question and the weight is.
The Intangibles
Fourteenth overall in 2018, five seasons, all of them in Philadelphia, 182 points in 334 games and a career minus-19.
He is 24 and has just had the best season of five, on a club that took more than half the chances and finished twentieth. Nothing about the progression has been fast and none of it has stopped.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 14 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 437 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 66 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
2023-24 · 1115 minutes at five-on-five
- Bobby Brink30%
- Cam Atkinsonnow TBL23%
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
- PHI took 52.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.8% — 0.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 1,115 minutes at five-on-five — 74th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travis Sanheim | 53.0% | 51.1% | 52.5% |
| Cam York | 46.4% | 54.3% | 54.6% |
| Scott Laughton | 45.5% | 54.6% | 44.8% |
53.0% together, 51.1% for him apart and 52.5% for Sanheim apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
243 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 22 of them goals. His median goal came from 12 feet. 42% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 25% from beyond forty.
