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
29 goals and 45 assists in 68 games — 74 points, even in plus-minus, at 19:14 a night with 10 power-play goals and 44 penalty minutes. His 1,420th career game and his 1,761st point.
He turned 39 in August.
The Finesse Game
The hands below the goal line remain the best in the sport and always were. He protects the puck with his back to pressure and waits for a defenceman to commit, and 39 years old has not changed the timing of it.
The shot chart is what a great player does with a fading first step: 53 per cent of his unblocked attempts from inside 20 feet, median 18, and 30 goals across all situations. He stopped shooting from the outside years ago.
45 assists in 68 games.
The Physical Game
5-11, 200, and still the strongest man on the puck in most games he plays. 44 penalty minutes — he has never been passive and is not now.
The skating has genuinely slowed. It is the only thing that has.
The Intangibles
50.3 per cent of the expected goals, 57th percentile, which is dead average and the least interesting number on this page.
14 points in his last 10. 654 goals, 1,107 assists, 3 Stanley Cups, and 21 seasons for 1 club.
There is no scouting insight to offer. He is the best player of his generation, he is 39, and he is still producing at better than a point a game. Watch it while it is on.
What kind of player
The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 42 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 — 88 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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bryan Rust | 49.1% | 54.8% | 43.3% |
| Rickard Rakell | 50.1% | 50.4% | 53.0% |
| Erik Karlsson | 47.9% | 52.2% | 55.0% |
49.1% together, 54.8% for him apart and 43.3% for Rust apart. He was carrying it: the share stayed with him and left Rust behind.
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
234 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 30 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 54% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 10% from beyond forty.
