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

2 goals and 3 assists in 33 games — 5 points, plus-1, at 12:08 a night with 8 penalty minutes.

The Finesse Game

31 unblocked attempts from a median of 57 feet, and none at all from inside 20. 2 goals. 17 points in 107 career games.

He is a right-shot defenceman who moves the puck adequately and stands at the blue line. That is the whole description.

The Physical Game

6-3, 194, and light for the frame. 8 penalty minutes in 33 games. He defends positionally and avoids contact where he can.

The Intangibles

The numbers are surprisingly good: 51.5 per cent of the expected goals, 68th percentile, and the goals 19-17 in his favour across 388 minutes.

388 sheltered minutes as a seventh defenceman on the fourth-best defensive team in the league is exactly the context in which a flattering number appears, and this is one.

He is 29, a third-round pick in 2015, and has spent 8 seasons as organisational depth. 1 point in his last 10. There is not enough evidence here for anything stronger than that, and there probably never will be.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 388 minutes

Expected goals: 51.5%; 68th pct
Shot attempts: 49.1%; 48th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 19 for, 17 against. Expected: 16.3 and 15.3.

The eye and the numbers

Sighted

Report

4th

Numbers

68th

The numbers rank him 64 points above where the report does. 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.

Both 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 — 61 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 33 games

Top speed: 20.9 mph; 25th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.42 a game
Distance: 1.82 miles a game
Hardest shot: 92.5 mph; 62nd pct

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.

Recent form

Last 16 appearances, 2025-26, oldest first

points in his last 10 games — 1 goals, 0 assists, 11 shots

Each bar is one game by points. Filled bars are games he scored in.

Usual linemates

2025-26 · 388 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: DAL took 50.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.5% — 1.0 above the club he did it on.
The role: 388 minutes at five-on-five — 11th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Alexander Petrovic	54.6%	49.9%	45.2%
Mavrik Bourque	55.1%	50.2%	54.2%
Jason Robertson	55.5%	49.9%	55.5%

54.6% together, 49.9% for him apart and 45.2% for Petrovic apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.

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

31 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 49 feet. 0% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 74% from beyond forty.
