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

33 goals and 24 assists in 77 games for 57 points, plus-3, on 16:55 a night — the second-highest goal total on the club and a career high by 16.

22 per cent shooting on 150 shots. His previous best was 12.7. His on-ice goals were 35-37 against an expected 44-42, so the line did not outscore anybody; he simply converted at a rate no forward sustains.

The Finesse Game

A quick release from a big frame, and a genuinely improved sense of where to be — 34 per cent of his attempts came from inside 20 feet, which is a real change from earlier in his career and is the part of the season worth believing.

What is not believable is the rate. 150 shots is a third-line volume, and 33 goals from it requires a conversion rate that only a handful of players in history have held for two seasons running. He played most of the year beside the best shooter in the league, which helps, and does not make 22 per cent a skill.

The Physical Game

6-3 and 212, and he plays a straight, honest, forechecking game. He gets to the net front and can hold a position there, and he takes the punishment that comes with converting from 27 feet.

22 penalty minutes over 77 games. The durability has been fine.

The Intangibles

A third-round pick, four organisations, and a career of being a useful bottom-six forward until a contract year on the first line of a bad team.

The club has now paid him as a scorer. The honest projection is 20 goals, and the gap between that and 33 is the single largest bet in this chapter.

The eye and the numbers

The two rank him within 7 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 315 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 75 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

2024-25 · 1084 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

BOS took 48.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.5% — 3.1 above the club he did it on.

With and without

David Pastrnak53.2%46.4%45.0%

Mason Lohrei50.0%52.6%47.6%

53.2% together, 46.4% for him apart and 45.0% for Pastrnak apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.

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

221 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 33 of them goals. His median goal came from 19 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 19% from beyond forty.
