Liam Ohgren
Minnesota Wild Left Wing
24 games at 21 and a 40.8 per cent chance share, and a first NHL look that did not go well.

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 3 assists in 24 games for 5 points, minus-6, on 11:06 a night.
40.6 per cent at five-on-five, the 4th percentile, over 247 minutes. That is a small sample and it is a very bad one.
The Finesse Game
Not yet at the level. 32 shots in 24 games and 2 goals, with only a quarter of the attempts from inside 20 feet — he was working from the perimeter because that is where NHL defencemen put him.
The shot is genuine and it was a first-round pick’s shot in Sweden. Nothing about the first 24 games suggests it is ready.
The Physical Game
6 feet and 187, and he is willing without being strong enough. He is separated from possession by NHL defencemen routinely, which is the ordinary problem for a 21-year-old winger.
2 penalty minutes in 24 games. Too small a sample to read.
The Intangibles
A first-round pick, two American League seasons, and a first NHL stretch at 21 on a club fighting for a playoff place, which is the hardest environment to learn in.
The projection is a middle-six winger and the timeline is two more years. Nothing in last season changes either.
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.
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.
“6 feet and 187, and he is willing without being strong enough. He is separated from possession by NHL defencemen routinely, which is the ordinary problem for a 21-year-old winger.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 38 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 71 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 83.9
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.

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
- MIN took 49.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 40.6% — 8.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 247 minutes at five-on-five — 3rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frederick Gaudreau | 42.1% | 39.2% | 44.5% |
| Brock Faber | 38.0% | 42.2% | 46.7% |
| Jake Middleton | 34.2% | 44.1% | 47.9% |
42.1% together, 39.2% for him apart and 44.5% for Gaudreau 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
49 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 15 feet. 24% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 24% from beyond forty.
