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
14 goals and 18 assists in all 82 games — 32 points at 14:39 a night, minus-1, with 1 shorthanded goal on 148 shots at 9.46 per cent, and 36 penalty minutes. His second-best goal total in ten seasons, at 31.
59.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,085 minutes, the 97th percentile. His ice went 41-46 against an expectation of 49.27-34.02 — nine goals of scoring missing and eight conceded above expectation, which is the harshest pair of numbers on the roster and came from a defensive-zone deployment.
The Finesse Game
148 attempts at a median of 25 feet, with 43 per cent from inside 20 and 24 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 9.46 per cent. Eighty goals in 641 career games; fourteen is a career high and it is not the reason he plays.
18 assists. He does not create and the puck does not stay on his stick — the offence is arriving first and putting it on net.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 208. He forechecks first and he finishes every check, and this is the whole of what he offers and it is a great deal.
307 penalty minutes in 641 games and he will fight. He wins pucks on the wall against defencemen and he is the forward on this roster an opponent notices first.
36 penalty minutes in 82 games is a moderate rate and the discipline is deliberate — on a club with the second-best penalty kill in the league, the man who hits everybody does not take the penalties.
The Intangibles
Fifty-eighth overall in 2012 by Phoenix, and 641 games and 197 points at 32 across two clubs.
He played all eighty-two. A third-line winger who forechecks like this at the ninety-eighth percentile of chances is what a system looks like from the inside, and the twelve goals conceded above expectation on his ice belong to the assignment rather than to him.
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 eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 46 points above where the report does. 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. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
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 — 70 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, 2023-24
- The club
- CAR took 56.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 59.2% — 2.6 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 1,085 minutes at five-on-five — 70th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Staal | 60.6% | 54.1% | 61.3% |
| Jesper Fast | 60.7% | 58.0% | 58.8% |
| Jaccob Slavin | 62.4% | 56.4% | 55.8% |
60.6% together, 54.1% for him apart and 61.3% for Staal apart. He was worse away from Staal, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Staal did.
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
229 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 12 feet. 43% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 24% from beyond forty.
