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

30 games with Florida, no goals and 9 assists, 20 penalty minutes, 12:36 a night and minus-2. He took 47.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 357 minutes, the 34th percentile, and his ice went 13-14 against an expectation of 11.83-13.15.

A goal of finishing above what the chances were worth and one below at the other end. Twenty-five shots without a goal is the sort of season a seventh defenceman has.

The Finesse Game

33 attempts at a median of 44 feet with 61 per cent of them from beyond forty and 9 per cent from inside twenty, 25 of those on goal, none of which went in.

Thirty-five career assists against 10 goals in 191 games. He moves the puck cleanly and quickly out of his own end and that is most of the case for him; there are no power-play goals in 191 games and there is no reason to expect any.

The Physical Game

He is 6-0 and 193 and took 20 penalty minutes.

Ninety career penalty minutes in 191 games. He is an average-sized defenceman without much physical presence, and at twelve and a half minutes a night nobody is asking him to provide one.

The Intangibles

Eighty-fifth overall in 2016 by Anaheim, six seasons, three organisations, and 45 points in 191 games.

A career minus-2 across six seasons of seventh-defenceman work. He is 26 and has played more than 40 games in a season once.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report

Numbers
34th

The two rank him within 7 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 — 64 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 with FLA · 357 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
FLA took 53.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.4% — 6.3 below the club he did it on.
The role
357 minutes at five-on-five — 10th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Uvis Balinskis46.5%48.0%49.2%
Eetu Luostarinen50.5%46.0%54.4%
Anton Lundell48.3%47.1%53.4%

46.5% together, 48.0% for him apart and 49.2% for Balinskis apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.

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

33 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 0 of them goals. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 61% from beyond forty.
