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 6 assists in 33 games — 8 points, minus-3, at 12:11 a night with 14 penalty minutes. His first NHL season, at 21.

The Finesse Game

The reads are ahead of the tools, which is the usual shape for a Finnish winger arriving at 21. He finds the open man and he is rarely in the wrong place without the puck.

The shot chart is the problem. 71 unblocked attempts from a median of 35 feet, with only 21 per cent from inside 20 and 34 per cent from beyond 40 — that is a young player shooting from where he is allowed to rather than from where goals come from, and 2 goals is what that returns.

6 assists in 33 games is the encouraging half.

The Physical Game

6-1, 195, and neither weak nor strong. 14 penalty minutes.

He does not avoid the wall and does not yet win on it. There is room on the frame and 2 summers will tell.

The Intangibles

48.3 per cent of the expected goals, 40th percentile, and 48.5 per cent of the shot attempts, 41st, across 384 minutes — a small sample, and a middling one.

2 points in his last 10, neither a goal.

He is 21, a 58th overall pick, and spent the season on a third line with Gritsyuk and Glass. Nothing here is alarming and nothing is exciting; this is what a second-round winger looks like in his first year, and the next one is the one that says something.

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.

measuredcomputed here from the season's own data

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.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 384 minutes

Expected goals: 48.3%; 40th pct
Shot attempts: 48.5%; 42nd pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 15 for, 15 against. Expected: 14.5 and 15.5.

Numbers

40th

The two rank him within 7 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

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 — 69 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: 21.0 mph; 9th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.48 a game
Distance: 1.96 miles a game
Hardest shot: 87.1 mph; 64th 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.

Usual linemates

2025-26 · 384 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: NJD took 50.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.3% — 2.1 below the club he did it on.
The role: Third line, 384 minutes at five-on-five — 10th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Cody Glass	49.1%	46.1%	49.0%
Arseny Gritsyuk	56.7%	42.3%	55.8%
Simon Nemec	42.1%	52.2%	49.5%

49.1% together, 46.1% for him apart and 49.0% for Glass apart. He was worse away from Glass, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Glass did.

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

71 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 21 feet. 21% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 34% from beyond forty.
