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.

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.

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 numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2024-25 · 341 minutes

Expected goals: 36.7%; 0th pct
Shot attempts: 41.6%; 3rd pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 11 for, 15 against. Expected: 10.3 and 17.8.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight

Report

5th

Numbers

0th

The two rank him within 5 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 637 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2024-25 · 33 games

Top speed: 21.6 mph; 48th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.64 a game
Distance: 1.68 miles a game
Hardest shot: 84.0 mph; 15th pct

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.

Usual linemates

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

Jake Christiansen34%
Jack Johnsonoff the roster34%
Damon Severson8%

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 36.7% — 11.6 below the club he did it on.
The role: 341 minutes at five-on-five — 9th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Jake Christiansen	34.5%	37.9%	44.7%
Adam Fantilli	23.9%	42.8%	47.3%
Jack Johnson	36.9%	36.7%	43.6%

34.5% together, 37.9% for him apart and 44.7% for Christiansen 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

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.
