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

8 goals and 10 assists in 56 games, minus-3, at 10:55 a night — the lightest regular workload on the club.

The Finesse Game

He shoots a great deal for the ice he gets. 109 shots on goal in fewer than 11 minutes a night is an unusually high rate, and 8 went in from a median distance of 27 feet.

That is a player generating volume without much quality, which is a fair summary of him. 10 assists says the playmaking is not going to add anything.

The Physical Game

6 foot even, 195, and he plays a fast, irritating forechecking game rather than a heavy one. 31 penalty minutes.

The speed is the asset and it is what has kept him in the league across 4 organisations.

The Intangibles

The 5-on-5 rate was 50.2 per cent of the expected goals, 56th percentile, with the shot attempts a little better at 51 per cent. In 572 minutes the goals were 20-22 — one of the few Bruins whose actual results were not inflated, which mostly means he was not on the ice with the shooters.

He is 30 and a 142nd overall pick with 269 games. 1 point in his last 10. This is the bottom of a roster and he is a reasonable occupant of it.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 572 minutes

Expected goals: 50.2%; 56th pct
Shot attempts: 51%; 67th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 20 for, 22 against. Expected: 23.6 and 23.5.

The eye and the numbers

Sighted

Report

8th

Numbers

56th

The numbers rank him 48 points above where the report does. It was written with these numbers on screen and departs from them anyway, which makes the gap a judgment rather than an oversight. 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 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 63 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 56 games

Top speed: 22.5 mph; 65th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.80 a game
Distance: 1.74 miles a game
Hardest shot: 84.0 mph; 44th pct

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.

Each bar is one game by points. Filled bars are games he scored in.

Usual linemates

2025-26 · 572 minutes at five-on-five

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, 2025-26

The club: BOS took 48.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.2% — 2.2 above the club he did it on.
The role: Fourth line, 572 minutes at five-on-five — 22nd percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Sean Kuraly	51.2%	49.4%	47.3%
Nikita Zadorov	48.5%	51.1%	46.3%
Fraser Minten	51.6%	49.4%	50.3%

51.2% together, 49.4% for him apart and 47.3% for Kuraly apart. Kuraly was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Kuraly 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

157 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 8 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 41% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 24% from beyond forty.
