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
73 games for Vegas, 14 goals and 13 assists for 27 points, 3 on the power play, 16 penalty minutes, 13:24 a night and plus-4, with 2 game-winners. He took 53.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 908 minutes, the 76th percentile, and his ice went 40-35 against an expectation of 38.25-33.74.
Two goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and one more conceded than they called for. Twenty-seven points matches his career high and thirteen and a half minutes a night is the whole of the opportunity.
The Finesse Game
147 attempts at a median of 21 feet with 47 per cent of them from inside twenty and 13 per cent from beyond forty, 117 of those on goal, converted at 12.0 per cent against a career 12.18 across 468 shots.
A 21-foot median with nearly half the attempts from inside twenty feet is a forward who does not shoot from anywhere he cannot reasonably score from. 57 career goals in 369 games on very little ice, and 55 career assists is a fair statement of the passing.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 206 and took 16 penalty minutes.
71 career penalty minutes in 369 games. He forechecks honestly without punishing anybody and he goes to the front of the net, which is where the shot chart comes from; there is no nastiness in the game at all.
The Intangibles
Ninetieth overall in 2014 by Los Angeles, seven seasons, four organisations, 112 points in 369 games and a Stanley Cup in Vegas.
He has been claimed, traded and signed his way through four clubs and finished with a ring. A thirteen-minute forward who takes half his attempts from inside twenty feet is a useful thing to have in a bottom six.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 51 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 437 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.

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 53.1% — 1.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 908 minutes at five-on-five — 48th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| William Karlsson | 56.4% | 51.0% | 59.4% |
| Paul Cotter | 55.7% | 51.9% | 49.5% |
| Brayden McNabb | 57.8% | 50.6% | 50.6% |
56.4% together, 51.0% for him apart and 59.4% for Karlsson apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with Karlsson and did not follow 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
147 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 19 feet. 47% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
