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

39 goals and 29 assists in 81 games — 68 points, minus-5, at 17:24 a night. 12 of the goals came on the power play.

The Finesse Game

He shot 21.5 per cent. That needs saying first, because everything else about the season sits on top of it. Before last year he had 111 goals in 414 games; last year he scored 39 in 81.

The location does not fully justify it. 34 per cent of his unblocked attempts came from inside 20 feet and a quarter came from beyond 40, with a median of 30. That is a perfectly ordinary distribution for a middle-6 forward, not the shot chart of a man who should be burying a fifth of what he takes.

The hands in tight are real, and so is a heavy release that beats goaltenders clean. He is a good shooter. He is not a one-in-5 shooter.

The Physical Game

6-3, 212, and he uses it going to the net, which is how some of those goals were manufactured. 22 penalty minutes is a big man playing a clean game.

The Intangibles

While he was on the ice at 5-on-5 the goals went 49-45 in his favour and the expected goals went 43.7 to 49.6 against — 46.8 per cent, 25th percentile. He was outplayed and outscored the opposition anyway, which is the Boston season in 1 player.

None of this means he is a bad player. It means a 39-goal season should be priced as a 25-goal player having a remarkable year, and anyone drafting him in the autumn on the strength of last spring is buying the shooting percentage, not the shooter.

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.

measuredcomputed here from the season's own data

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 numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 1,102 minutes

Expected goals: 46.3%; 23rd pct
Shot attempts: 48.4%; 41st pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 49 for, 45 against. Expected: 43.6 and 50.6.

The eye and the numbers

Report

55th

Numbers

23rd

The report ranks him 32 points above where the numbers do. 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 — 73 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 · 81 games

Top speed: 22.2 mph; 48th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.79 a game
Distance: 2.68 miles a game
Hardest shot: 103.0 mph; 100th 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.

Usual linemates

2025-26 · 1102 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 46.3% — 1.7 below the club he did it on.
The role: First line, 1,102 minutes at five-on-five — 71st percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Elias Lindholm	45.9%	46.9%	44.8%
David Pastrnak	47.4%	44.9%	49.1%
Nikita Zadorov	43.7%	47.7%	47.7%

45.9% together, 46.9% for him apart and 44.8% for Lindholm 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

272 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 39 of them goals. His median goal came from 23 feet. 35% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 25% from beyond forty.
