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

1 goal and 6 assists in 59 games for 7 points, minus-16, on 17:04 a night with Ottawa.

72 shots and 1 goal. A third-pair role on a playoff club, and the rating is the least flattering line in it.

The Finesse Game

None remaining. 7 points in 59 games at 17 minutes a night is among the lowest returns in this edition, and the first pass has slowed to the point where a forecheck can be planned around it.

There is no offensive contribution and there has not been for six seasons.

The Physical Game

6-1 and 193, and the willingness has never gone. He blocks shots, finishes checks, and defends his net front, and he is one of the more respected veterans in the league for exactly that.

19 penalty minutes over 59 games is disciplined. The skating is the limitation and at 35 it is severe.

The Intangibles

Fifteen seasons, six organisations, and a reputation as a leader that every club he has joined has cited.

At 35 the projection is 50 games of third-pair hockey and a room presence. On a club that has missed nine straight playoffs, spending a roster spot on that is a choice worth interrogating.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report

Numbers
19th

The two rank him within 11 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 357 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 62 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.

  • Jake Sanderson45%

  • Tyler Kleven21%

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
OTT took 50.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.0% — 4.2 below the club he did it on.
The role
888 minutes at five-on-five — 44th percentile in ice time.

With and without

TeammateTogetherHim apartMate apart
Jake Sanderson45.5%46.5%54.4%
Drake Batherson49.4%44.7%51.5%
Tim Stützle49.9%44.0%54.6%

45.5% together, 46.5% for him apart and 54.4% for Sanderson apart. Sanderson 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

112 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 51 feet. 3% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 89% from beyond forty.
