This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
43 games, 1 goal and 2 assists at 8:45 a night, minus-9, seventy-four penalty minutes, 36 shots. Fifty-fifth overall in 2017 by Vancouver — the second round — two seasons, 44 games, 3 points.
Three hundred and seventy-three minutes of five-on-five ice is short of the five hundred this book requires before it will place a man in the league distribution, so what follows is described rather than ranked.
The Finesse Game
One goal from thirty-six shots, from a 23-foot median with forty-five per cent of them inside twenty feet. He shoots from the right places and there are almost no shots.
43.5 per cent of the expected goals across 373 five-on-five minutes, out of a chair the book cannot rank because he took fewer than two hundred end-zone starts.
His ice went 9-18 against an expectation of 12.79-16.60 — four short in front, one and a half more against, on a sample that is a fifth of a season.
The Physical Game
Seventy-four penalty minutes in forty-three games at 8:45 a night, and ninety-one across a forty-four-game career.
That is more than one and a half minutes of penalties per game from a forward taking under nine minutes of ice. On a club that spent 4:31 a game short-handed and killed at the 12th-best rate, it is the most expensive thing in the file by a distance.
6-3 and 211 pounds, and the penalty minutes are what the size has produced.
The Intangibles
1.41 miles a game is the least of all 568 skaters the tracking covers with forty games. That figure is almost entirely shift length — nobody playing 8:45 a night covers ground — and it should be read as a description of the role rather than the skater.
22.1 mph top speed and 1.3 bursts a game, both drawn from forty-three games.
His shot is 87.7 mph, the 23rd percentile.
He is 24, a second-round pick, and has forty-four NHL games and three points. The penalty minutes are the one thing the record says clearly and they are not, on this evidence, worth the ice. Three hundred and seventy-three minutes cannot establish anything else, and a fourth-line winger who takes ninety seconds of penalties a game does not usually get a second look.
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
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.
“Seventy-four penalty minutes in forty-three games at 8:45 a night, and ninety-one across a forty-four-game career.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 21 points above where the numbers do. 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 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 57 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 84.1
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.

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, 2021-22
- The club
- SJS took 47.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 43.5% — 3.9 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 373 minutes at five-on-five — 12th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brent Burns | 39.7% | 45.0% | 47.3% |
| Lane Pederson | 41.3% | 44.5% | 35.9% |
| Jasper Weatherby | 42.9% | 43.8% | 43.2% |
39.7% together, 45.0% for him apart and 47.3% for Burns apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
53 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 4 feet. 45% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 23% from beyond forty.
