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
4 goals and 10 assists in 55 games — 14 points, minus-7, at 11:17 a night with 46 penalty minutes. His first real NHL season, at 22.
The Finesse Game
Thin. 42 unblocked attempts, 4 goals, median 29 feet with 38 per cent from inside 20. 14 points in 62 career games.
10 assists in 55 games is the more encouraging half — he holds the puck on the wall and looks for a pass rather than throwing it away.
The Physical Game
6-2, 210, and this is the case for him. 46 penalty minutes in 11 minutes a night is one of the higher rates on the club, and he plays with an edge that has already made him popular in a city that values it.
The skating is the limitation and it is what keeps him under 12 minutes.
The Intangibles
49.5 per cent of the expected goals, 50th percentile, with the goals 19-25 against across 603 minutes.
That is a respectable fourth-line season on a club that finished 4th at preventing chances.
4 points in his last 10. He is 23, a 135th overall pick who came over from Toronto, and this is roughly what a fifth-rounder becoming a regular looks like.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe numbers rank him 23 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.
The same player was graded a second time from his biography and his box score alone, with the measured record withheld. That reading lands 23 points from the numbers; this one lands 23. Across the whole control the two distances come out the same, which is worth knowing in both directions: the arithmetic on both sides of the sighted reading did not buy it any accuracy, and it did not cost it any either.
All three 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 — 68 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.

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.

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
- PHI took 50.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.5% — 1.0 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 603 minutes at five-on-five — 24th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travis Sanheim | 52.0% | 48.0% | 51.0% |
| Jamie Drysdale | 47.2% | 50.8% | 51.6% |
| Nick Seeler | 49.8% | 49.4% | 51.5% |
52.0% together, 48.0% for him apart and 51.0% for Sanheim apart. He was worse away from Sanheim, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Sanheim did.
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
42 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 43 feet. 38% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 24% from beyond forty.
