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

1 goal and 4 assists in 33 games for 5 points, minus-1, on 11:23 a night.

15 shots in 33 games. The usage is the report: eleven minutes a night in a spare role on a club that had no depth and still could not find more for him.

The Finesse Game

The skating is fine and the puck moves quickly enough for the level. He was a college captain and a good one, and the reads are sound.

There is no offence to project. 5 points in 33 games, 15 shots, and nothing in three NHL seasons suggesting a power-play role or a second pairing.

The Physical Game

6 feet and 189, and light. He does not defend the net front against NHL forwards and loses more board battles than he wins.

6 penalty minutes in 33 games. Nothing careless, and nothing that changes the picture.

The Intangibles

A third-round pick, four years at Northeastern, and a career that has settled into the seventh-defenceman role by 25.

On a rebuilding club that is a perfectly reasonable place to be, and there is a version of him that plays 50 games on a third pair. The evidence so far is that it does not go further.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report

Numbers

The two rank him within 1 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 315 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 61 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

2024-25 with CBJ · 341 minutes at five-on-five

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
CBJ took 48.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 37.3% — 11.0 below the club he did it on.
The role
341 minutes at five-on-five — 9th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Jake Christiansen36.5%37.8%44.1%

Jack Johnson37.2%37.4%44.0%

36.5% together, 37.8% for him apart and 44.1% for Christiansen apart. Christiansen was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for him.

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

24 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 38 feet. 8% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 88% from beyond forty.
