Marcus Johansson

This Season So Far

The 2022-23 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

69 games for Seattle and Washington, 9 goals and 20 assists at 16:08 a night, minus-26, four penalty minutes, 111 shots, three power-play goals and two game-winners. Twenty-fourth overall in 2009 by Washington, twelve seasons, 753 games, 407 points.

The Finesse Game

Nine goals from 111 shots is 8.1 per cent, the 21st percentile, off 5.98 shots per 60 at the 25th, from a 21-foot median with fifty-eight per cent of his attempts from inside twenty feet.

1.21 even-strength points per 60 is the 16th percentile and thirty-four per cent of his points came on the power play, off 2:29 a night at the 72nd. A 29-point season with a third of it on the unit is a fourth-line rate arriving in a third-line chair.

50.4 per cent of the expected goals is the 56th percentile and 50.5 per cent of the attempts the 56th, both a shade the right side of even, out of 52.2 per cent offensive-zone starts.

And the minus-26 does not come out of those shares. His ice went 33-44 against an expectation of 33.48-33. Level in front and eleven more against than the model asked, which is the largest defensive shortfall on this roster and the reason the plus-minus reads as it does. Seattle rated 31st in the league in goaltending at minus-36.0.

The Physical Game

0.108 penalties taken per 60 is the 6th-fewest of the 393 forwards who played forty games, and four penalty minutes came out of sixty-nine of them.

1.67 hits per 60 is the 15th percentile and 1.40 blocks the 36th, at 6-1 and 203 pounds, and 112 penalty minutes across 753 career games.

0.54 penalties drawn per 60 against 0.11 taken is a net of plus 0.43, the 82nd percentile.

The Intangibles

22.3 mph is the 40th percentile among the 365 tracked forwards, 7.1 bursts over twenty miles an hour per 60 the 70th and 10.02 miles per 60 the 81st. A lot of ground covered at ordinary pace.

He is 32, twenty-fourth overall in 2009, with 407 points in 753 games and a career minus-53, returning to the club that drafted him for the third time. The mileage, the discipline and level possession shares are three real things. A 16th-percentile even-strength point rate and eleven goals of defensive shortfall are why a twelve-year veteran keeps changing clubs.
