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

2 goals and 4 assists in 33 games for 6 points, minus-7, on 12:18 a night.

42 per cent at five-on-five, the 5th percentile, over 340 minutes. 62 per cent of his shots came from inside 20 feet at a median of 16, and 34 attempts produced 2 goals.

The Finesse Game

Limited. 34 shots in 33 games is very low volume and the hands are ordinary at this level.

The locations say he is doing the right thing and the finishing says he is not good enough at it yet. 6 points in 33 games is a fourth-liner’s rate.

The Physical Game

6 feet and 180, and willing without being heavy. He forechecks honestly and goes to the net, and he loses more battles than he wins against NHL defencemen.

23 penalty minutes in 33 games is a high rate for a bottom-six forward.

The Intangibles

A third-round pick out of Notre Dame, where he was captain, and a first NHL stretch at 22.

The realistic projection is a fourth-line winger who kills penalties. On this roster the opportunity exists; nothing yet says he will take it.

The eye and the numbers

The report ranks him 31 points above where the numbers do. 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. 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 357 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 70 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.

Usual linemates

2024-25 · 340 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, 2024-25

The club
CHI took 43.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 42.0% — 1.2 below the club he did it on.

Nick Foligno38.9%43.4%46.9%

43.3% together, 41.2% for him apart and 45.5% for Murphy apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.

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

47 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 46 feet. 62% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
