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
12 goals and 15 assists in 78 games for Vegas — 27 points at 11:47 a night, plus-4, with a shorthanded goal and 2 game-winners on 109 shots, and 8 penalty minutes.
Twelve goals at under twelve minutes a night on the club that took the fewest penalties in the league. It is a fourth-line season and a perfectly good one.
The Finesse Game
109 attempts and 12 goals at 11.0 per cent. 150 goals and 312 points in 722 career games.
15 assists. There is not much creation; he goes to the net, he retrieves pucks, and he takes what the forecheck produces.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 207 and honest. He forechecks properly and he wins some pucks below the goal line, and he does not initiate much contact.
8 penalty minutes in 78 games is among the lowest totals of any regular in this edition. He does not foul and he does not retaliate.
The Intangibles
Thirtieth overall in 2012 and 722 games and 312 points across six organisations, with a Stanley Cup in Los Angeles at 21 on a line that had a nickname before he had a full season.
He is 33. Winnipeg signed him in the summer for the bottom six, which at this stage of a career is the correct use of him.
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.

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
HindsightThe two rank him within 5 points of one another. 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.
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 — 70 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
2024-25 with VGK · 866 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, 2024-25
- The club
- VGK took 53.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.7% — 4.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 866 minutes at five-on-five — 41st percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noah Hanifin | 53.3% | 45.2% | 56.4% |
| Keegan Kolesar | 44.0% | 51.7% | 53.7% |
| Alex Pietrangelo | 51.7% | 47.3% | 53.9% |
53.3% together, 45.2% for him apart and 56.4% for Hanifin apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with Hanifin and did not follow 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
150 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 11 of them goals. His median goal came from 27 feet. 38% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 22% from beyond forty.
