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

24 goals and 20 assists in 77 games — 44 points, minus-16, at 18:31 a night. 269 shots on goal, the most on the club.

The Finesse Game

A volume shooter with a heavy release. 422 unblocked attempts — more than anyone here — producing 23 goals from a median of 26 feet with 40 per cent inside 20.

That is a great deal of shooting from reasonable ice for a modest return, and 241 goals in 698 career games says the finishing is usually better than this.

20 assists is a low number and the playmaking has never been the half he sells.

The Physical Game

6-1 and 220, and he is genuinely heavy — one of the few forwards in this book who is both a top-6 scorer and a physical problem. 22 penalty minutes is lower than his game suggests.

He goes to the net front on the power play and wins the ice there.

The Intangibles

52.9 per cent of the expected goals, 77th percentile, and 54.1 per cent of the shot attempts, 87th. The chances ran 55.9 to 49.8 in his favour and the goals went 39-56 against.

The minus-16 is the second-worst on the club and describes New Jersey rather than him.

8 points in his last 10. He is 29, paid as a first-line winger, and had a season where everything except the scoreboard said he was one.

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 numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 1,211 minutes

Expected goals: 52.9%; 77th pct
Shot attempts: 54.1%; 87th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 39 for, 56 against. Expected: 55.9 and 49.8.

The eye and the numbers

Sighted

86th

Numbers

77th

The two rank him within 9 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

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 — 79 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 77 games

Top speed: 22.4 mph; 60th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.44 a game
Distance: 3.01 miles a game
Hardest shot: 94.3 mph; 95th pct

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

2025-26 · 1211 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, 2025-26

The club: NJD took 50.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.9% — 2.5 above the club he did it on.
The role: First line, 1,211 minutes at five-on-five — 83rd percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Nico Hischier	54.4%	50.1%	52.0%
Dawson Mercer	53.3%	52.3%	50.1%
Luke Hughes	52.5%	53.1%	49.8%

54.4% together, 50.1% for him apart and 52.0% for Hischier apart. He was worse away from Hischier, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Hischier 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

422 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 23 of them goals. His median goal came from 10 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 22% from beyond forty.
