Florida Panthers Left Wing
Fifty-seven penalty minutes in thirty-five games at under nine minutes a night, and the lowest distance reading on the club.

This Season So Far
The 2023-24 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
3 goals and 4 assists in 35 games — 7 points — with San Jose. Minus-3, 8:59 a night, 32 shots, 57 penalty minutes.
Fifty-seven minutes in thirty-five games at under nine minutes a night. The season before it was 74 in 43. That rate is the reason he has a career.
50.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 59th percentile, across 312 minutes — which is far too little ice to mean anything, and is recorded here only so that the number is not mistaken for evidence.
Three seasons, 79 games, 10 points.
The Finesse Game
32 shots at a median of 16 feet, 54 per cent from inside twenty and 17 per cent from beyond forty.
Beyond forty: 4 shots on goal. Inside forty: 28 shots, 3 goals.
Everything he puts on net comes from the paint, because that is the only place on the ice he goes. Seven of his thirty-two tracked shots were tip-ins.
79.1 mph at the 2nd percentile. He took no slap shots at all in the tracked sample, so the reading is close to meaningless as a measure of what he can do; it is an accurate description of what he does.
The Physical Game
6-3 and 211, and 57 penalty minutes in 35 games.
1.40 miles a game is the lowest distance figure on the Florida roster — a function of a fourth-line role at under nine minutes a night before it is a function of anything else. Top speed 22.0 mph, the 38th percentile.
He fights, he hits, and he stands in front of the goaltender. He is on the ice for barely nine minutes and the whole nine is spent in one of those three activities.
One caution on the percentiles above: they are scored against skaters who played forty or more games, and he played thirty-five.
The Intangibles
Fifty-fifth overall in 2017 to Vancouver, one game there, then San Jose, and then to Florida.
He is a fourth-line winger whose value is entirely in what he does after the whistle and in front of the net. That is a real job and it is a small one, and this book has no way to grade it beyond the penalty minutes and the shot chart, both of which say the same thing.
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.
“Everything he puts on net comes from the paint, because that is the only place on the ice he goes.”
“He fights, he hits, and he stands in front of the goaltender.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 44 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 638 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 84.9
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, 2022-23
- The club
- SJS took 48.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.9% — 2.4 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 312 minutes at five-on-five — 7th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steven Lorentz | 45.9% | 60.3% | 47.0% |
| Oskar Lindblom | 48.7% | 53.2% | 43.6% |
| Erik Karlsson | 53.6% | 49.3% | 51.0% |
45.9% together, 60.3% for him apart and 47.0% for Lorentz apart. He was better away from Lorentz, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Lorentz.
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
46 unblocked shots in 2022-23, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 54% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 17% from beyond forty.
