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
No goals and no assists in 23 games for New Jersey — 23 penalty minutes at 5:47 a night, which is the least ice time of anybody in this chapter.
There is no five-on-five sample worth reporting. He is a thirteenth forward and the club that signed him in the summer knows it.
The Finesse Game
7 shot attempts in 23 games and no goals. There is nothing here and there never has been: 11 goals in 288 NHL games across eight seasons.
The puck skills are below NHL standard and the deployment reflects it. He is not on the ice in any situation where the puck is expected to reach him.
The Physical Game
6-5 and 233 pounds and among the largest men in the league. He hits extremely hard, he fights, and nobody moves him from anywhere he has decided to stand.
391 penalty minutes in 288 games is the record of what he is for. He crosses the line deliberately and the reason a club dresses him is that everybody on the other bench knows he will.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, and eight NHL seasons on from that, with a Stanley Cup ring from Colorado in 2022.
He is 31 and Ottawa signed him in the summer. On a young roster that lost a first playoff series in six games, the argument for him is that he changes what a heavier opponent is willing to do.
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.
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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.
“Undrafted, and eight NHL seasons on from that, with a Stanley Cup ring from Colorado in 2022.”

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.
