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

36 goals and 34 assists in 82 games — 70 points at 17:29 a night, plus-23, the best figure on the club, with 7 power-play goals and 4 game-winners on 239 shots, the most on the roster.

53.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 79th percentile. His ice went 60-33 against an expectation of 48.00-41.01 — twelve goals of scoring missing and five extra conceded, which sits oddly next to a plus-23 and says the goals came somewhere other than five-on-five.

The Finesse Game

The skating is the best on the club and among the best in the league. He beats a defenceman wide from a standing start and he does it several times a night; almost everything he produces comes from crossing the blue line with speed.

239 attempts at a median of 32 feet with 25 per cent from inside 20, converting at 15.1 per cent. He shoots off the rush rather than from the paint, which is a shot profile that lives or dies on the shooting percentage.

The Physical Game

6-1 and 189 and he is not in the physical half of the game. He does not forecheck with force, he does not win pucks on the wall, and he is not used against a first line.

20 penalty minutes in 82 games. He is disciplined, he does not retaliate, and the defensive detail has been the standing criticism for five years.

The Intangibles

Thirty-fifth overall in 2016 and 416 games and 332 points, with a Stanley Cup ring from 2019 that he was not old enough to play a part in.

He is 27, an alternate captain, and signed through 2031. Thirty-six goals is a career high and the third time in four seasons he has scored more than 30.

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 · 1,140 minutes

Expected goals: 53.9%; 84th pct
Shot attempts: 50.7%; 61st pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 60 for, 33 against. Expected: 48.0 and 41.0.

The eye and the numbers

66th

Numbers

84th

The two rank him within 18 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 — 75 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 · 82 games

Top speed: 23.1 mph; 90th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.94 a game
Distance: 2.82 miles a game
Hardest shot: 85.9 mph; 51st 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 · 1140 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: STL took 51.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 53.9% — 2.8 above the club he did it on.
The role: First line, 1,140 minutes at five-on-five — 80th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Brayden Schenn	54.4%	53.3%	42.8%
Dylan Holloway	57.5%	50.7%	51.3%
Ryan Suter	48.4%	56.8%	48.0%

54.4% together, 53.3% for him apart and 42.8% for Schenn apart. Schenn was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Schenn 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

328 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 36 of them goals. His median goal came from 23 feet. 25% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 25% from beyond forty.
