This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
48 games, 2 goals and 4 assists for 6 points, 40 penalty minutes, 14:44 a night and minus-10. He took 41.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 640 minutes, the 8th percentile and the worst share on the club, and his ice went 25-38 against an expectation of 23.18-32.29.
Two goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and six more conceded than they called for. The 8th percentile over 640 minutes at 33 is the bottom of an NHL blue line.
The Finesse Game
65 attempts at a median of 56 feet with 86 per cent of them from beyond forty and 3 per cent from inside twenty, 50 of those on goal, converted at 4.0 per cent against a career 3.52 across 1,477 shots.
A career 3.52 per cent across 1,477 shots and 52 goals in 841 games. 183 career assists is a reasonable number for fourteen seasons of a defenceman who has never been asked to make plays; the puck goes off the glass more often than up the ice.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 193 and took 40 penalty minutes.
755 career penalty minutes in 841 games. He is the one man on this blue line who will finish a check at cost to himself, clears his crease by moving people out of it, and has spent fourteen seasons being harder to play against than he is to play with.
The Intangibles
Fifty-third overall in 2008 by the Islanders, fourteen seasons, four organisations, 235 points in 841 games and a career minus-10.
He has taken more than twenty minutes a night in ten different seasons and is down to fourteen and three-quarters. At 34 the compete is intact and the feet are not.

Goals while he was on the ice: 25 for, 38 against. Expected: 23.2 and 32.3.
The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 4 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 437 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 57 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.
Usual linemates
2023-24 · 640 minutes at five-on-five
- Jakob Chychrunnow WSH43%
- Erik Brannstromnow VAN36%
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, 2023-24
- The club
- OTT took 49.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 41.8% — 7.4 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 640 minutes at five-on-five — 28th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jakob Chychrun | 42.4% | 41.3% | 48.8% |
| Erik Brannstrom | 48.0% | 38.7% | 52.6% |
| Tim Stützle | 46.4% | 39.3% | 51.6% |
42.4% together, 41.3% for him apart and 48.8% for Chychrun apart. Chychrun was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for 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
65 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 56 feet. 3% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 86% from beyond forty.
