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
1 goal and 13 assists in 72 games — 14 points, minus-5, at 16:45 a night with 22 penalty minutes. His first professional season.
He turned 20 in June.
The Finesse Game
122 unblocked attempts from a median of 52 feet, 70 per cent from beyond 40, and 1 goal. That is a rookie defenceman shooting from the point because the point is where he is allowed to be.
13 assists in 72 games is a modest return and roughly what a 20-year-old on a last-place club produces.
The skating and the first pass are the tools, and both are already NHL quality.
The Physical Game
6-3, 200, and he defends properly for a first-year player — he closes gaps, does not chase, and is willing in front of his own net. 22 penalty minutes.
There is room on the frame and the strength will come.
The Intangibles
46.7 per cent of the expected goals, 25th percentile, and 47.3 per cent of the shot attempts, 29th, across 1,105 minutes — a full top-4 workload at 20.
Those numbers are unremarkable and the minutes are not. San Jose gave a 20-year-old 17 minutes a night against men and he did not drown, which on a club that conceded 190 goals at 5-on-5 is the whole test.
2 points in his last 10. He is 20, the eleventh pick in 2024, and the third piece of a core that is now Celebrini, Smith, Misa, Chernyshov and him.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 29 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 — 73 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.

skated, all strengths
one shot; the league's average best is 88.9
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
- SJS took 47.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.7% — 0.7 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third pair, 1,105 minutes at five-on-five — 72nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vincent Desharnais | 51.8% | 44.7% | 47.8% |
| Macklin Celebrini | 46.5% | 46.8% | 52.7% |
| William Eklund | 51.7% | 44.9% | 49.1% |
51.8% together, 44.7% for him apart and 47.8% for Desharnais 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
122 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 19 feet. 11% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 70% from beyond forty.
