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 14 assists in 68 games — 18 points, even in plus-minus, at 11:59 a night with 15 penalty minutes. His first full NHL season.

The Finesse Game

The location is right and nothing comes of it. 120 unblocked attempts, 4 goals, from a median of 23 feet with 44 per cent from inside 20 and only 13 per cent from beyond 40.

That is a young forward getting to good ice and finishing almost none of it — 19 points in 89 career games says the same thing.

14 assists in 12 minutes a night is the encouraging half and it is genuinely encouraging.

The Physical Game

6-2 and 175 pounds, which is thin even by the standards of a 22-year-old. 15 penalty minutes.

He goes to the net and gets moved out of it. There is a great deal of room on the frame.

The Intangibles

48.4 per cent of the expected goals, 41st percentile, against 44.3 per cent of the shot attempts, 8th percentile, across 750 minutes.

That is a 4-point gap between chance share and attempt share — fewer shots, better ones — and the goals went 30-30 in his favour.

2 points in his last 10. He is 22, a 67th overall pick, and this is a fourth-line winger’s season with a third-liner’s shot chart underneath it. The goals have to start.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 750 minutes

Expected goals: 48.4%; 41st pct
Shot attempts: 44.3%; 9th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 30 for, 30 against. Expected: 28.0 and 29.9.

Numbers

41st

The two rank him within 8 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 — 69 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 · 68 games

Top speed: 22.6 mph; 69th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 2.06 a game
Distance: 2.03 miles a game
Hardest shot: 83.8 mph; 43rd 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.

Each bar is one game by points. Filled bars are games he scored in.

Usual linemates

2025-26 · 750 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: SEA took 46.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.4% — 2.4 above the club he did it on.
The role: Fourth line, 750 minutes at five-on-five — 34th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Ben Meyers	50.9%	46.8%	47.8%
Adam Larsson	42.8%	51.3%	45.0%
Freddy Gaudreau	45.2%	49.7%	39.6%

50.9% together, 46.8% for him apart and 47.8% for Meyers apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.

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

120 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 25 feet. 44% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
