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 34 assists in all 82 games — 58 points, minus-17, at 17:02 a night with 13 power-play goals and 39 penalty minutes.
His 873rd career game and his 607th point.
The Finesse Game
The shot chart is excellent. 313 unblocked attempts with 61 per cent from inside 20 feet and a median of 17, and only 11 per cent from beyond 40.
23 goals out of that ice, and 13 of his 24 came on a power play where he sets up in the slot and cannot be moved.
34 assists is a fair rate.
The Physical Game
6-3 and 220 pounds, and he plays a heavy, useful game — he protects the puck below the goal line, wins the front of the net, and takes a beating in the crease. 39 penalty minutes.
2 knee reconstructions are behind him and the skating never fully came back.
The Intangibles
55.0 per cent of the expected goals, 87th percentile, and 56.2 per cent of the shot attempts, 93rd — the best attempt share on the club — across 1,061 minutes, with the chances 45.5 to 37.2 in his favour and the goals 40-52.
And a minus-17, on a club where every regular forward finished above the 83rd percentile in chance share. That number is short-handed ice and empty nets, and it describes nothing that happened at 5-on-5.
4 points in his last 10. He is 32, and this is a genuinely good second-line centre with a hockey card that says otherwise.
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 two rank him within 1 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 — 80 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 83.6
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pavel Dorofeyev | 58.1% | 51.3% | 53.0% |
| Noah Hanifin | 55.9% | 54.5% | 54.5% |
| Kaedan Korczak | 56.7% | 54.2% | 54.7% |
58.1% together, 51.3% for him apart and 53.0% for Dorofeyev apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
313 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 23 of them goals. His median goal came from 15 feet. 61% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 11% from beyond forty.
