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
71 games, 4 goals and 8 assists for 12 points, 46 penalty minutes, 11:54 a night and even. He took 52.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 722 minutes, the 72nd percentile, and his ice went 23-23 against an expectation of 28.76-25.93.
Six goals of scoring that did not arrive on a fourth line that was winning its minutes. Twelve points in 71 games is the floor of what a club can carry, and the 72nd percentile is why it carried him.
The Finesse Game
67 shots at a median of 16 feet with 62 per cent from inside 20, converted at 6.0 per cent. He gets to the right ice and does nothing with it.
115 career assists in 557 games. He is a straight-line skater who is quicker than he looks and who has never had hands to match the legs.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 205 and finishes his checks without hurting anybody.
46 penalty minutes in 71 games is a higher rate than the rest of his game suggests, and most of it is stick fouls when he has been beaten to a spot.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick in 2013 out of Danderyd, eight seasons, and 195 points in 557 games. He kills penalties and has 10 career shorthanded goals in 557 games, which is the most on this roster among forwards other than Adam Henrique.
That is the job and he is good at it. The even-strength scoring has been gone for three years and there is no reason to expect it back at 31.
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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 55 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 — 61 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.

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

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
- EDM took 56.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.6% — 4.3 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 722 minutes at five-on-five — 33rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darnell Nurse | 50.9% | 53.7% | 54.3% |
| Cody Ceci | 48.7% | 55.4% | 52.7% |
| Brett Kulak | 48.7% | 54.9% | 56.2% |
50.9% together, 53.7% for him apart and 54.3% for Nurse apart. Nurse was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for him.
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
84 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 7 feet. 63% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 11% from beyond forty.
