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

17 goals and 30 assists in 81 games — 47 points, plus-4, at 23:12 a night — the heaviest workload on the club — with 6 power-play goals and 71 penalty minutes.

His 617th career game and his 278th point.

The Finesse Game

The shot is the tool and it is one of the heaviest from any blue line in the league. 275 unblocked attempts from a median of 45 feet with 63 per cent from beyond 40, and 17 goals came out of it.

17 goals from a defenceman is a top-3 figure at the position, and it is not a fluke — he has scored double figures 3 times.

30 assists is a fair rate.

The Physical Game

6-1, 202, and he plays a physical, sometimes undisciplined game. 71 penalty minutes.

He defends his crease and finishes checks. The skating is adequate and genuine speed can beat him wide.

The Intangibles

49.6 per cent of the expected goals, 51st percentile, and 50.1 per cent of the shot attempts, 58th, across 1,478 minutes — the only Vegas regular below the 50th percentile in chance share.

The goals came out 64 for and 65 against, level, which on this roster is the bottom third.

10 points in his last 10, 5 of them goals. He is 29, arrived from Calgary, and on a roster where everybody else is above water he is the one who is not. 23 minutes a night is a great deal of ice for that.

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 · 1,478 minutes

Expected goals: 49.6%; 52nd pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 64 for, 65 against. Expected: 58.1 and 59.0.

Numbers

52nd

The report ranks him 30 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 — 78 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 · 81 games

Top speed: 21.8 mph; 56th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.75 a game
Distance: 3.35 miles a game
Hardest shot: 100.3 mph; 97th 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.

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: VGK took 53.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.6% — 3.8 below the club he did it on.
The role: 1,478 minutes at five-on-five — 96th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Kevin Bahl	44.8%	54.2%	44.2%
Noah Hanifin	54.2%	47.8%	55.2%
Nazem Kadri	43.9%	51.1%	52.9%

44.8% together, 54.2% for him apart and 44.2% for Bahl apart. He was better away from Bahl, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Bahl.

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

275 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 17 of them goals. His median goal came from 27 feet. 13% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 63% from beyond forty.
