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
Eighty-one games, 22 goals and 31 assists for 53 points with 6 on the power play, 54 penalty minutes, 15:04 a night and plus-22. He converted 14.67 per cent of 150 shots against a career 11.44 across 472.
He took 53.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,101 minutes, the 80th percentile, and his ice went 54-34 against an expectation of 50.49-43.62. Fifty-three points at fifteen minutes a night is a first-line rate on a third-line workload.
The Finesse Game
He shoots from a median of 24 feet with 36 per cent from inside 20 and converted 14.67 per cent. The hands at 6-5 are much better than the frame suggests and he handles the puck in tight ice.
Eighty-eight career assists in 240 games. He holds the puck along the wall with one arm and finds a man coming late, which is a play very few forwards this size make.
The Physical Game
He is 6-5 and 212 and he wins the wall against anybody. A defenceman who tries to take the puck off him in the corner is usually still there when the play has moved on.
Two hundred and five penalty minutes in 240 games is a high rate and it is initiated rather than reactive. He forechecks aggressively and finishes his checks at that size, which on the fourth-best chance-suppressing club in the league is exactly the shift being asked for.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, out of Uxbridge, five years in the minors before a National Hockey League job, and 142 points in 240 games since. He is plus-49 across all of them.
He is 29 and on the third line of a club that finished second in the league. On most rosters in this edition he plays the first.
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.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 49 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 65 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 84.5
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

- Tyler Seguin67%
- Sam Steel10%
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
- DAL took 54.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 53.6% — 1.0 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 1,101 minutes at five-on-five — 72nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matt Duchene | 52.9% | 57.7% | 48.4% |
| Tyler Seguin | 53.2% | 54.9% | 50.1% |
| Thomas Harley | 49.6% | 55.8% | 56.9% |
52.9% together, 57.7% for him apart and 48.4% for Duchene apart. He was carrying it: the share stayed with him and left Duchene 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
217 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 22 of them goals. His median goal came from 20 feet. 36% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 18% from beyond forty.
