34 points at 35, and on-ice goals of 31-33 that nobody should expect again.

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

11 goals and 23 assists in 72 games for 34 points, minus-7, on 16:23 a night with a shorthanded goal.

47.8 per cent at five-on-five, the 33rd percentile. His on-ice goals were 31-33 against an expected 33.7-36.9, which is three goals of scoring that did not arrive and four of goaltending in his favour, and a minus-7 anyway.

The Finesse Game

The passing is still good and the hands still work in traffic. 23 assists in a third-line role is a fair total and he remains one of the few men on this roster who can make a play at pace.

121 shots and 11 goals at 9.1 per cent. The shot has never been a weapon and at 35 the release is slow enough that goaltenders are rarely troubled.

The Physical Game

6-1 and 203, and he does not play to it. He avoids the wall, does not forecheck with weight, and gives up possession rather than absorbing contact.

12 penalty minutes over 72 games. Durable, and the legs have thinned.

The Intangibles

Sixteen seasons, seven organisations, two separate stints here, and a career of being a useful middle-six forward everywhere he has been.

At 35 the projection is 30 points and a chance share around the league median. The on-ice goal differential last season was a gift and it is worth being explicit about that.

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.

a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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.

Five-on-five, 2024-25 · 1,002 minutes

Expected goals: 47.8%; 33rd pct
Shot attempts: 47.6%; 30th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 31 for, 33 against. Expected: 33.7 and 36.9.

The eye and the numbers

Numbers

33rd

The two rank him within 16 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 72 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, 2024-25 · 72 games

Top speed: 23.2 mph; 93rd pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 2.78 a game
Distance: 2.70 miles a game
Hardest shot: 86.3 mph; 53rd 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

2024-25 · 1002 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, 2024-25

The club: MIN took 49.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.8% — 1.3 below the club he did it on.
The role: Third line, 1,002 minutes at five-on-five — 61st percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Brock Faber	45.1%	49.5%	46.6%
Ryan Hartman	48.9%	47.1%	50.3%
Frederick Gaudreau	43.8%	49.7%	44.5%

45.1% together, 49.5% for him apart and 46.6% 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

166 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 10 of them goals. His median goal came from 30 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 25% from beyond forty.
