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
14 goals and 15 assists in 77 games for 29 points, plus-7, on 14:29 a night with 75 penalty minutes.
51.7 per cent at five-on-five, the 68th percentile. 54 per cent of his shots came from inside 20 feet at a median of 19, and 15.4 per cent conversion on 91 attempts is a career-high rate.
The Finesse Game
Limited and directed exactly where it should be. 91 shots in 77 games is a low volume and all of it comes from the net front and the inside lane.
15 assists is honest. Everything he produces comes from being difficult to move from a place where goals happen.
The Physical Game
6-3 and 226, and among the most feared forwards in the league to play against. He hits, he fights, and he is genuinely difficult below the goal line.
75 penalty minutes over 77 games is a high rate and on a club with the 22nd penalty kill it is a measurable cost. The body has been reliable, which for a man who plays this way at 34 is unusual.
The Intangibles
A fourth-round pick, fifteen seasons, and a decade here as the man who answers for everybody else.
At 34 the projection is 20 points and the same willingness. The 15.4 per cent rate is a career high and will fall; nothing else about him will change.

Goals while he was on the ice: 38 for, 42 against. Expected: 32.3 and 30.1.
The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 5 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 357 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 75 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 · 920 minutes at five-on-five
- Freddy Gaudreaunow SEA40%
- Ryan Hartman35%
- Yakov Trenin35%
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 51.7% — 2.6 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 920 minutes at five-on-five — 49th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frederick Gaudreau | 49.8% | 52.9% | 43.1% |
| Ryan Hartman | 50.6% | 52.5% | 49.6% |
| Brock Faber | 45.5% | 54.9% | 47.2% |
49.8% together, 52.9% for him apart and 43.1% for Gaudreau apart. He was carrying it: the share stayed with him and left Gaudreau behind.
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
136 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 13 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 54% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
