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
2 goals and 15 assists in 58 games — 17 points, plus-2, at 11:44 a night.
The Finesse Game
Minimal and pointed in the right direction. 58 unblocked attempts with 52 per cent from inside 20 feet, median 17 — excellent ice — and 2 goals out of it.
That is a hands problem rather than a positioning one. 96 goals in 766 career games is the career rate and it is not going to improve at 32.
15 assists in 58 games is more than he usually manages.
The Physical Game
6-3, 216, and he plays the heavy defensive game the club drafted him for. 18 penalty minutes. He wins faceoffs, kills penalties on the eighth-ranked unit in the league, and takes the defensive-zone start so somebody else does not have to.
The Intangibles
43.0 per cent of the expected goals, 11th percentile, and 45.6 per cent of the shot attempts, 15th, across 558 minutes.
Those are bad numbers and they are the numbers a fourth-line centre gets when his job is to start every shift 180 feet from the opposition net. Somebody has to take them, and on this club it is him.
He is 32, a 13th overall pick who became a checking centre, and 766 games into a career spent almost entirely doing the least glamorous job in the sport for 1 organisation.
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 eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 16 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 — 67 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.

Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2025-26
- The club
- DAL took 50.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 43.0% — 7.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 558 minutes at five-on-five — 22nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colin Blackwell | 46.1% | 39.6% | 45.6% |
| Oskar Bäck | 50.9% | 38.4% | 50.9% |
| Alexander Petrovic | 40.6% | 44.3% | 48.0% |
46.1% together, 39.6% for him apart and 45.6% for Blackwell apart. He was worse away from Blackwell, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Blackwell 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
58 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 24 feet. 52% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
