Ottawa Senators Right Wing
Forty-eight per cent of his attempts came from inside 20 feet, the highest share of any forward on the club.

This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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
11 goals and 16 assists in 72 games — 27 points at 14:06 a night, plus-12, with 2 game-winners and 18 penalty minutes.
50.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 54th percentile. His ice went 33-30 against an expectation of 32.89-32.72 — a fourth-line result almost exactly on top of a fourth-line expectation.
The Finesse Game
85 attempts at a median of 22 feet with 48 per cent of them from inside 20 feet, the highest share of any forward on this roster. He is a net-front player on a checking line and he converted at 12.9 per cent doing it.
16 assists in 72 games. The passing is functional and nothing more; he is on the ice to be in the right place, not to create the play.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 206 and a sound, unspectacular body. He forechecks properly, he finishes the check he is supposed to finish, and he does not go looking for one that is not there.
18 penalty minutes in 72 games. He is trusted on the penalty kill and the discipline is a large part of why.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick of Los Angeles in 2014 who has played for four organisations and won a Stanley Cup in Vegas in 2023.
441 games and 139 points, almost all of it in a bottom-six role, and he has been useful in every one of them. He is 29 and knows exactly what he is.

Goals while he was on the ice: 33 for, 30 against. Expected: 32.9 and 32.7.
The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 18 points of one another. 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.
Both bars are percentiles among the 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 70 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, 2024-25
- The club
- OTT took 50.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.1% — 0.1 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 891 minutes at five-on-five — 44th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shane Pinto | 51.2% | 48.8% | 52.8% |
| Jake Sanderson | 49.1% | 50.7% | 52.1% |
| Thomas Chabot | 51.8% | 49.1% | 53.2% |
51.2% together, 48.8% for him apart and 52.8% for Pinto apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
125 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 10 of them goals. His median goal came from 23 feet. 48% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 18% from beyond forty.
