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
4 goals and 5 assists in 57 games — 9 points, minus-4, at 9:03 a night with 59 penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
There is none and none is offered. 53 shots on goal in 57 games, 4 goals. 72 points in 394 career games.
The Physical Game
5-9 and 184 pounds, and he fights anybody. That is the job, and it is a strange and admirable one — he is giving away 6 inches and 40 pounds most nights and has built a 394-game career on being willing to anyway.
59 penalty minutes in 9 minutes a night is a very high rate.
He is also quick enough to forecheck, which is the only reason a man this size can hold the role in the modern game.
The Intangibles
He did not play enough 5-on-5 in one place last season to register an on-ice record in this edition, which is its own comment on the ice time.
He is 31, undrafted, and has a Stanley Cup ring. On a Columbus roster that already carries Olivier — bigger, younger, and scoring 15 goals at an 86th-percentile rate — the case for a second player doing the same job less well is hard to make.
That is not a knock on the man. It is the salary cap doing what it has done to this job for 20 years.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 2 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.
The same player was graded a second time from his biography and his box score alone, with the measured record withheld. That reading lands 10 points from the numbers; this one lands 2. Across the whole control the two distances come out the same, which is worth knowing in both directions: the arithmetic on both sides of the sighted reading did not buy it any accuracy, and it did not cost it any either.
All three 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 — 65 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.

Usual linemates
2025-26 with CGY · 511 minutes at five-on-five
- Adam Klapka70%
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
- CGY took 47.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 44.7% — 2.3 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 511 minutes at five-on-five — 17th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adam Klapka | 45.3% | 43.2% | 46.1% |
| Kevin Bahl | 45.2% | 44.5% | 44.4% |
| Joel Hanley | 46.4% | 44.1% | 51.8% |
45.3% together, 43.2% for him apart and 46.1% for Klapka 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
84 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 23 feet. 24% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 20% from beyond forty.
