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
13 goals and 22 assists in 77 games — 35 points, plus-12, at 16:42 a night with 83 penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
Better than the reputation. 186 unblocked attempts with 50 per cent from inside 20 feet, median 20, and 13 goals.
He gets to the paint and takes the punishment for being there, which is where the shot chart comes from. 22 assists is a fair supporting number.
The Physical Game
6 foot even and 184 pounds, and one of the most genuinely irritating players in the league. 83 penalty minutes at that size, a willingness to say and do whatever is required, and a forecheck that arrives late and hard.
He gives away 30 pounds most nights and does not adjust.
The Intangibles
54.1 per cent of the expected goals, 82nd percentile, and 52.5 per cent of the shot attempts, 78th, with the goals 48-43 in his favour.
Plus-12 on a club whose goaltending cost 33 goals.
7 points in his last 10. He is 24, a 28th overall pick, and exactly the sort of player who becomes more valuable when a series tightens — small, quick, and completely unwilling to be intimidated.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 5 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 — 77 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 83.6
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
- OTT took 54.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 54.1% — 0.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 1,032 minutes at five-on-five — 64th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dylan Cozens | 60.3% | 47.2% | 58.7% |
| Brady Tkachuk | 63.9% | 47.8% | 58.7% |
| Artem Zub | 49.1% | 56.9% | 53.3% |
60.3% together, 47.2% for him apart and 58.7% for Cozens apart. He was worse away from Cozens, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Cozens 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
186 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 13 of them goals. His median goal came from 9 feet. 50% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 17% from beyond forty.
