Mathieu Joseph
Edmonton Oilers Right Wing
Speed, penalty-killing minutes, and a scoring touch that has been trending the wrong way for 3 years.

This Season So Far
The 2026-27 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
2 goals and 11 points in 51 games across St. Louis and Edmonton, under 13 minutes a night. He has been a 30-point player before; he has not been one recently.
The Finesse Game
Quick, and the quickness is the whole file. He is a genuine burner in transition, dangerous shorthanded, and capable of turning a neutral-zone turnover into a chance by himself. He has a decent release when he uses it.
Away from the rush, the offense is thin. He does not win pucks below the goal line, he is not a factor on the cycle, and he has never generated much for linemates. When the speed does not produce, the shift produces nothing.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 189, and he plays a light game. He uses his stick and his angles well on the penalty kill, which is where most of his defensive value sits, but he is not going to out-muscle anybody for a puck.
The Intangibles
Coaches keep giving him a job because he can skate and kill penalties, and both of those travel. The production has been going down for long enough now that a bounce-back is a hope rather than an expectation.
A useful thirteenth forward on a deep team, which on this roster is exactly what he is being asked to be.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 16 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.
Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 71 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 83.6
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.

Five-on-five, 2025-26
- The club
- LAK took 51.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.6% — 1.3 below the club he did it on.

- 575 minutes at five-on-five — 23rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cam Fowler | 43.8% | 53.3% | 49.6% |
| Philip Broberg | 52.7% | 49.8% | 51.5% |
| Colton Parayko | 52.1% | 50.0% | 51.4% |
43.8% together, 53.3% for him apart and 49.6% for Fowler apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
66 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 26 feet. 53% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
