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
56 games, 16 goals and 37 assists for 53 points, 4 on the power play, 2 shorthanded, 22 penalty minutes, 19:24 a night and plus-1, with 5 game-winners. He took 51.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 749 minutes, the 67th percentile, and his ice went 38-31 against an expectation of 33.90-31.38.
Four goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and level at the other end. Fifty-three points in 56 games is a point-a-game rate from a man who has now played fewer than 60 in four of the last five seasons.
The Finesse Game
147 attempts at a median of 20 feet with 50 per cent of them from inside twenty and 12 per cent from beyond forty, 105 of those on goal, converted at 13.7 per cent against a career 15.37 across 1,379 shots.
355 career assists and 212 goals in 640 games. Half his attempts came from inside twenty feet and he took only 147 of them, which is a forward whose value is almost entirely in taking the puck off somebody and giving it to somebody else in a better place.
The Physical Game
He is 6-3 and 210 and took 22 penalty minutes.
215 career penalty minutes in 640 games. He is large and defends by stealing the puck rather than by hitting anybody; the stick is the tool and it takes possession back without the referee ever being involved.
The Intangibles
One hundred and seventy-eighth overall in 2010 by Ottawa, twelve seasons, and Vegas is his second organisation.
A career plus-119 and 567 points in 640 games — the largest plus-minus on this roster. He was a sixth-round pick, he is 32, and the only thing that has ever stopped him is the number of games he can play.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 32 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 86 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

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
- VGK took 51.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.9% — 0.7 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 749 minutes at five-on-five — 35th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chandler Stephenson | 45.5% | 61.2% | 46.3% |
| Alex Pietrangelo | 51.9% | 52.0% | 49.9% |
| Brayden McNabb | 58.0% | 48.8% | 50.8% |
45.5% together, 61.2% for him apart and 46.3% for Stephenson apart. He was better away from Stephenson, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Stephenson.
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
147 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 16 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 50% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 12% from beyond forty.
