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 7 assists in 51 games — 19 points, plus-6, at 11:41 a night on 4 penalty minutes.
43.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 8th percentile, across 509 minutes, with the on-ice goals 25-23 against an expectation of 17.81-23.4. 12 goals on 73 shots at 16.4 per cent is the highest conversion rate on the roster and it arrived on the smallest volume.
The Finesse Game
The shot is the reason he has a job. He releases quickly off a pass and he does not need much room to do it, and 27 goals in 209 career games is a better rate than the ice time suggests.
The shot chart is a distance shooter’s — 27 per cent of attempts from inside 20 feet at a median of 32 — so 16.4 per cent will not repeat. Everything else is ordinary: the skating is fine, the passing is fine, and neither creates anything on its own.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 206 and he does not play heavy. 4 penalty minutes in 51 games is close to the lowest rate on the club, and it is not discipline so much as an absence of engagement.
He does not forecheck hard, he does not win a wall against a defenceman, and he will not be the man in front of the net. In a bottom-six role that is a real limitation, because the job below the top two lines is mostly the job he does not do.
The Intangibles
A fifth-round pick who played 101 NHL games in his first seven seasons and 108 in the two since.
He is 32, he has been the first man called up in this organisation for five years, and he scores when he is given minutes. That is a genuinely useful thirteenth forward and it is very close to the whole of it.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 6 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 496 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 59 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.

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
- NYR took 47.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 43.2% — 4.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 509 minutes at five-on-five — 17th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Braden Schneider | 38.4% | 46.6% | 47.0% |
| Sam Carrick | 37.9% | 46.0% | 45.8% |
| Zac Jones | 43.1% | 43.3% | 47.3% |
38.4% together, 46.6% for him apart and 47.0% for Schneider 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
107 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 38 feet. 27% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 30% from beyond forty.
