The only Chicago skater whose on-ice numbers were merely below average.

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

5 goals and 14 assists in 51 games — 19 points, minus-15, at 12:51 a night. His first real NHL season, at 21.

The Finesse Game

The skating is elite and it is the whole reason he was a first-round pick — genuinely one of the faster forwards in the league, and he uses it to forecheck and to recover rather than to carry.

The scoring has not arrived. 96 unblocked attempts, 6 goals, median distance 29 feet with 35 per cent inside 20. 14 assists in 51 games is the encouraging half.

The Physical Game

5-11, 188, and slight. 19 penalty minutes. He is not winning pucks by force and at this weight he is not going to; the speed has to do all of it.

The Intangibles

Here is the one number on this roster worth pausing over. Chicago’s skaters last season posted expected-goal shares in the second, 3rd, 4th, fifth and sixth percentiles. Moore posted 47.6 per cent — 33rd percentile, in 576 minutes.

That is still below average. On this team it is by some distance the best mark of any forward, and it was produced by a 21-year-old in a bottom-6 role.

6 points in his last 10. He is the nineteenth pick in 2023 and, on the evidence of 1 season, the Chicago forward least responsible for what happened.

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.

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 576 minutes

Expected goals: 47.7%; 34th pct
Shot attempts: 47%; 27th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 20 for, 32 against. Expected: 21.3 and 23.4.

Numbers

34th

The two rank him within 4 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

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 — 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 51 games

Top speed: 23.0 mph; 84th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 2.75 a game
Distance: 2.17 miles a game
Hardest shot: 86.3 mph; 59th 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 · 576 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: CHI took 43.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.7% — 4.5 above the club he did it on.
The role: 576 minutes at five-on-five — 23rd percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Matt Grzelcyk	47.9%	47.5%	44.1%
Wyatt Kaiser	49.0%	47.0%	43.2%
Connor Murphy	43.8%	49.0%	47.2%

47.9% together, 47.5% for him apart and 44.1% for Grzelcyk apart. Grzelcyk was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Grzelcyk 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

96 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 6 of them goals. His median goal came from 30 feet. 36% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 25% from beyond forty.
