This Season So Far

The 2024-25 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

82 games, 31 goals and 36 assists for 67 points, 8 on the power play, 22 penalty minutes, 18:20 a night and minus-12, with 4 game-winners. He took 50.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,182 minutes, the 59th percentile, and his ice went 55-48 against an expectation of 54.27-52.64.

A goal of finishing above what the chances were worth and five goals of goaltending above them. Thirty-one goals after 37 the season before, and the 50.8 per cent is the best chance share of any forward on the club who played a thousand minutes.

The Finesse Game

361 attempts at a median of 32 feet with 23 per cent of them from inside twenty, 246 of those on goal, converted at 12.4 per cent against a career 13.19 across 864 shots.

114 career goals in 334 games. He takes more attempts than anybody on the club and takes them from further out than any forward here. The speed gets him into the zone with the puck and the shot goes before a defenceman has closed, which is a different way of scoring thirty than most men use.

The Physical Game

He is 6-1 and 189 and took 22 penalty minutes.

Eighty-eight career penalty minutes in 334 games. There is almost no contact in his game; he beats people with speed and does not go back for pucks he has lost, and a career minus-39 in 334 games is partly that.

The Intangibles

Thirty-fifth overall in 2016 by St. Louis, six seasons, one organisation, and 262 points in 334 games.

Zero career shorthanded goals in 334 games. He is 26 and has scored 27, 37 and 31 in his three full seasons, which is as reliable a thirty-goal scorer as this club has had in a decade.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report
72nd
Numbers
60th

The two rank him within 12 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 74 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

2023-24 · 1182 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, 2023-24

The club
STL took 44.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.8% — 6.0 above the club he did it on.
The role
First line, 1,182 minutes at five-on-five — 81st percentile in ice time.

With and without

TeammateTogetherHim apartMate apart
Robert Thomas50.9%50.6%47.6%
Pavel Buchnevich52.2%48.9%46.5%
Colton Parayko50.0%51.3%41.7%

50.9% together, 50.6% for him apart and 47.6% for Thomas apart. Thomas was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Thomas 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

361 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 33 of them goals. His median goal came from 21 feet. 23% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 26% from beyond forty.
