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
32 games, 4 goals and 5 assists for 9 points, 11 penalty minutes, 10:05 a night and plus-5. He took 48.5 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 318 minutes, and his ice went 11-6 against an expectation of 9.58-10.17.
One goal of finishing above what the chances were worth and four fewer conceded than they called for. Three hundred and eighteen minutes is far too small a sample to read, and the plus-5 in it is goaltending.
The Finesse Game
37 attempts at a median of 28 feet, 26 on goal, converted at 15.4 per cent.
Five assists in 32 games. There is not enough here to describe. He shoots from further out than a fourth-line forward should and the sample is thirty-seven attempts.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 190 and forechecks hard without hitting to hurt.
11 penalty minutes in 32 games is a low rate. He takes the defensive-zone draw, blocks shots, and wins more wall battles than the size suggests.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, out of Verona, New Jersey, one season, and 9 points in 32 games.
He is 25 and undrafted and has played thirty-two games. On a club whose bottom six is Cizikas at 33 and Martin at 35, there is a job here for somebody younger and cheaper.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 0 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 415 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.

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
- NYI took 49.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.5% — 0.6 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 318 minutes at five-on-five — 7th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alexander Romanov | 45.8% | 50.4% | 48.8% |
| Adam Pelech | 54.8% | 45.8% | 48.7% |
| Ryan Pulock | 56.8% | 44.0% | 48.3% |
45.8% together, 50.4% for him apart and 48.8% for Romanov 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
37 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 41% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 30% from beyond forty.
