This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
78 games, 11 goals and 19 assists for 30 points, 1 on the power play, 22 penalty minutes, 15:53 a night and minus-15. He took 52.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,045 minutes, the 72nd percentile, and his ice went 34-41 against an expectation of 40.04-36.04.
Six goals of scoring that did not arrive and five more conceded than the chances called for. A 72nd-percentile chance share that produced a minus-15, which is what happens when both ends go wrong at once.
The Finesse Game
169 attempts at a median of 29 feet with 31 per cent from inside 20, converted at 9.8 per cent against a career 12.54.
309 career assists in 911 games. The hands are still there and the finishing has gone; eleven goals on 112 shots is three short of his own career rate. He moves the puck early and does not hold it.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 203 and has never played like it.
22 penalty minutes in 78 games is a very low rate. He does not forecheck hard, does not win the wall, and is easy to move off a puck.
The Intangibles
Twenty-fourth overall in 2009 out of Landskrona, fourteen seasons across six organisations, and 483 points in 911 games at a career minus-65.
He is 34 and this is his second spell in Minnesota, as it is his second in Washington. Thirty points at fifteen minutes a night is a third-line total and that is where he now belongs.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 35 points above where the report does. 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 415 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 63 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
2023-24 · 1045 minutes at five-on-five
- Marco Rossi33%
- Matt Boldy30%
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, 2023-24
- The club
- MIN took 51.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.6% — 1.3 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 1,045 minutes at five-on-five — 65th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brock Faber | 50.0% | 54.3% | 50.7% |
| Jake Middleton | 47.8% | 55.6% | 48.4% |
| Joel Eriksson Ek | 50.5% | 53.8% | 56.8% |
50.0% together, 54.3% for him apart and 50.7% for Faber apart. He was better away from Faber, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Faber.
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
169 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 11 of them goals. His median goal came from 26 feet. 31% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 23% from beyond forty.
