This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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 7 assists in 30 games — 11 points at 20:39 a night, plus-4, with 19 penalty minutes on 39 shots. He missed two-thirds of the season to a shoulder injury that required surgery.
54.5 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 88th percentile, across 461 minutes. His ice went 12-14 against an expectation of 19.67-16.44 — eight goals of scoring missing on a very small sample.
The Finesse Game
39 attempts in 30 games at a median of 49 feet with 70 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 10.3 per cent for 4 goals — a good rate from distance.
92 assists in 242 career games is the file. He is an offensive defenceman: he runs a power play, he walks the line, and the first pass out is ambitious in a way that occasionally costs him.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 196 and he does not play a physical game. He does not clear the front of his own net and he does not finish checks.
19 penalty minutes in 30 games is a moderate rate and a share of it is the stick foul that follows losing a step. He defends with his skating and his stick.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick of Toronto in 2018 who was traded to Los Angeles at 20 in the Jake Muzzin deal — 242 games and 117 points.
He is 27. He has now had two seasons badly interrupted by injury and the club has him signed through 2028.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 33 points above where the report does. It was written for a back edition, with the seasons that followed already known. Neither the agreement nor the gap says anything about the eye, and this report is excluded from the club-level comparison for the same reason. 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 637 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.
Usual linemates
2024-25 · 461 minutes at five-on-five
- Olli Maatta45%
- Ian Cole21%
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, 2024-25
- The club
- UTA took 53.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 54.5% — 1.3 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- 461 minutes at five-on-five — 14th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Olli Maatta | 55.8% | 53.4% | 49.7% |
| Barrett Hayton | 46.2% | 58.6% | 59.7% |
| Dylan Guenther | 53.2% | 54.9% | 49.8% |
55.8% together, 53.4% for him apart and 49.7% for Maatta apart. Maatta was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Maatta than for him.
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
66 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 54 feet. 8% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 70% from beyond forty.
