This Season So Far
The 2026-27 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
1 goal and 5 assists in 40 games — 6 points, minus-10, at 12:27 a night. His 5-on-5 work was done in Buffalo.
The Finesse Game
Almost nothing arrived. 49 unblocked attempts, 1 goal, median distance 32 feet. 56 goals in 475 career games, which was never much and is now less.
There is a passer in there — 109 career assists — and at this ice time and this rate it is not visible.
The Physical Game
6-6 and 231 pounds, and it is the entire reason he has a career. He is enormous, he protects pucks on the wall, and he is genuinely difficult to move off the net front.
29 penalty minutes in 40 games. The skating is the limitation and always has been; he is not fast enough to forecheck at NHL pace, which is why the ice time keeps falling.
The Intangibles
The 2 numbers disagree in an interesting way. He was on for 44.8 per cent of the expected goals, 44th percentile — respectable — but only 42.7 per cent of the shot attempts, 4th percentile.
That is a player whose line gets badly outshot and gives up nothing dangerous while doing it, which is roughly what a heavy, slow, defensively responsible fourth line produces.
He is 29 with 419 minutes of evidence and a body that is more useful in a tight series than in a season. On this roster he is the only forward over 6-4.
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.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
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.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 6 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.
Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 63 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.

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, 2025-26
- The club
- BUF took 51.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 44.8% — 6.3 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 419 minutes at five-on-five — 13th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beck Malenstyn | 45.6% | 44.0% | 44.7% |
| Tyson Kozak | 41.2% | 47.0% | 41.8% |
| Mattias Samuelsson | 47.4% | 43.1% | 51.5% |
45.6% together, 44.0% for him apart and 44.7% for Malenstyn 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
49 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 20 feet. 27% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 39% from beyond forty.
