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
18 goals and 30 assists in 80 games — 48 points, plus-6, at 14:32 a night. 10 points in his last 10 games. His 989th career game and his 787th point.
The Finesse Game
The speed that made him the first pick has gone from exceptional to good, and he has adapted the way the smart ones do. 46 per cent of his unblocked attempts came from inside 20 feet, median 23, and 18 went in on 137 shots.
He used to score from the rush. He now scores from the net front, and the conversion rate says it is working.
30 assists in 14 and a half minutes a night is a genuinely good rate.
The Physical Game
6-1, 210, and he is heavier now than he was as a young man, which suits the game he has ended up playing. 44 penalty minutes. He goes to the hard ice and takes what comes.
The Intangibles
56.4 per cent of the expected goals, 93rd percentile, and 59.9 per cent of the shot attempts, 98th, in a third-line role.
A Hart Trophy, a 1st overall selection, and a career of arriving on teams just as they fell apart. He is 34 and finally on a very good one, playing 14 minutes a night and posting some of the best underlying numbers of his life.
There is a version of this page that is sad. This is not it. He is a useful, willing, still-productive forward on a club with a real chance, and 787 points is a career almost nobody has.
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 numbers rank him 33 points above where the report does. 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 — 74 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

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
- CAR took 55.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 56.4% — 0.7 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,028 minutes at five-on-five — 63rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logan Stankoven | 58.3% | 52.6% | 59.6% |
| Jackson Blake | 58.0% | 53.5% | 57.7% |
| Alexander Nikishin | 53.8% | 58.1% | 55.0% |
58.3% together, 52.6% for him apart and 59.6% for Stankoven apart. He was worse away from Stankoven, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Stankoven did.
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
208 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 18 of them goals. His median goal came from 11 feet. 46% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 20% from beyond forty.
