This Season So Far
The 2026-27 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
3 goals and 31 assists in 74 games — 34 points, minus-4, at 21:41 a night with 1,334 5-on-5 minutes, the most on the club. His 1,235th career game.
He turns 39 in April.
The Finesse Game
The skating has held up better than anyone had a right to expect. He still leaves the zone with the puck and still joins the rush, and 31 assists in 74 games says the passing is intact.
The shot has gone: 157 unblocked attempts from a median of 46 feet, 3 goals. 178 goals in 1,235 games says what it was.
The Physical Game
6 foot even, 199, and he competes far harder than his size. 38 penalty minutes.
2 strokes, a heart condition, and the loss of his father inside 3 years, and he has played through all of it. There is nothing in a scouting report that captures that.
The Intangibles
50.1 per cent of the expected goals, 55th percentile, with the goals 56 for and 58 against across the most minutes on the club.
Some of that is Pittsburgh finishing 35 goals above its chances, second-best in the league.
7 points in his last 10. 20 seasons, 806 points, 3 Stanley Cups, all for 1 organisation. He is still playing 22 minutes a night and the results are still good, which at his age is the whole report.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 23 points above where the numbers do. It was written with these numbers on screen and departs from them anyway, which makes the gap a judgment rather than an oversight. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
The same player was graded a second time from his biography and his box score alone, with the measured record withheld. That reading lands 0 points from the numbers; this one lands 23. Across the whole control the two distances come out the same, which is worth knowing in both directions: the arithmetic on both sides of the sighted reading did not buy it any accuracy, and it did not cost it any either.
All three bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 77 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.

Usual linemates
2025-26 · 1334 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, 2025-26
- The club
- PIT took 51.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.1% — 1.7 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second pair, 1,334 minutes at five-on-five — 90th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Shea | 48.3% | 51.6% | 55.9% |
| Sidney Crosby | 51.8% | 49.4% | 49.3% |
| Bryan Rust | 49.1% | 50.6% | 47.3% |
48.3% together, 51.6% for him apart and 55.9% for Shea apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
157 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 32 feet. 10% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 66% from beyond forty.
