Pittsburgh Penguins Defense #6
The eighty-fourth percentile from a third pair, and three goals.

Last Season
Three goals and 13 assists in 78 games — 16 points, plus-six, at 15:58 a night with 26 penalty minutes. His five-on-five work was done in Vegas.
The Finesse Game
Minimal. Eighty-eight unblocked attempts from a median of 48 feet, thirteen per cent from inside twenty, three goals. Thirty-seven points in 155 career games.
Thirteen assists is the whole offensive contribution and nobody is asking for more.
The Physical Game
Six foot three, 206, and he defends properly — closes gaps, clears the crease, blocks shots. Twenty-six penalty minutes in 78 games is disciplined.
The Intangibles
Fifty-four point four per cent of the expected goals, 84th percentile, and 51.6 per cent of the shot attempts, 72nd, across 1,192 minutes.
That is a good season and it came on a strong Vegas club, which is the caveat that has attached to every Golden Knights number in this book.
He is 25, a forty-first overall pick, and joins a Pittsburgh blue line where Karlsson and Letang are 36 and 39 and playing more than twenty-one minutes each. A twenty-five-year-old defenceman who can take fifteen honest minutes is precisely what that roster is short of.
