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 12 assists in 52 games — 17 points, minus-18, at 12:58 a night with 26 penalty minutes. His 545th career game.

The Finesse Game

57 unblocked attempts, 5 goals, median 29 feet with 39 per cent from inside 20. 181 points in 545 career games is a fourth-line rate and that is what he has always been.

12 assists in 52 games is a fair return for the role.

The Physical Game

6-3, 210, and heavy — he forechecks hard, wins pucks on the wall, and takes defensive-zone draws. 26 penalty minutes.

The skating has slowed noticeably and it is what has taken him from a checking-line regular to a thirteenth forward.

The Intangibles

41.7 per cent of the expected goals, 5th percentile, and 38.6 per cent of the shot attempts — the nought-th percentile, across 544 minutes.

That attempt share is among the three or four worst of any forward in this book, and the minus-18 in 52 games follows from it.

5 points in his last 10, 3 of them goals. He is 32, a third-round pick, and one of 4 men on this roster with a 2019 ring — Binnington, Parayko and Thomas are the others. That season is now 7 years gone and this page is what is left of it.

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 · 544 minutes

Expected goals: 41.7%; 5th pct
Shot attempts: 38.6%; 0th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 19 for, 35 against. Expected: 14.7 and 20.6.

Report

Numbers

5th

The report ranks him 22 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 — 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 52 games

Top speed: 21.6 mph; 25th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.48 a game
Distance: 1.96 miles a game
Hardest shot: 81.4 mph; 27th 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 · 544 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: STL took 50.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 41.7% — 8.5 below the club he did it on.
The role: Fourth line, 544 minutes at five-on-five — 21st percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Alexey Toropchenko	41.6%	41.7%	42.0%
Cam Fowler	40.0%	42.9%	50.5%
Colton Parayko	36.4%	44.6%	53.3%

41.6% together, 41.7% for him apart and 42.0% for Toropchenko 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

57 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 19 feet. 39% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 32% from beyond forty.
