A career-high 76 points and a minus-17, on a club whose goaltending was the worst in the league by twenty goals.

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

24 goals and 52 assists in 82 games — 76 points, a career high, at 20:36 a night, with 8 power-play goals and 53 penalty minutes. Minus-17.

49.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 58th percentile. His ice went 45-55 against an expectation of 49.00-49.16, which is a forward whose even-strength results were level. The minus-17 was collected somewhere other than five-on-five.

The Finesse Game

188 attempts at a median of 33 feet with 27 per cent from inside 20 — he is a shooter who works from the top of the circle rather than the paint, and he converted at 12.8 per cent.

52 assists is the number that changed. He has been a 30-goal scorer here and last season he was a distributor, on a line with a 20-year-old who needed the puck. The playmaking was always there and it had never been the first thing about him.

The Physical Game

5-10 and 192 and he plays a great deal larger. He forechecks first, he finishes checks against men who outweigh him by thirty pounds, and he is thoroughly unpleasant to line up against.

53 penalty minutes in 82 games, and a large share of it is retaliation — he answers everything and takes the second penalty doing it. That has been true for nine seasons and it is not going to change.

The Intangibles

Twenty-fourth overall in 2015 and 646 games into a career spent entirely in one city, most of it on hockey teams that were not good — a minus-43 that says more about them than him.

He is 28, he signed an eight-year extension in 2024, and he is the veteran the club has decided to build the next phase around alongside a Russian rookie and a coach hired in the summer.

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.

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, 2024-25 · 1,222 minutes

Expected goals: 49.9%; 52nd pct
Shot attempts: 48.6%; 39th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 45 for, 55 against. Expected: 49.0 and 49.2.

The eye and the numbers

Numbers

52nd

The report ranks him 44 points above where the numbers do. 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. 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 83 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, 2024-25 · 82 games

Top speed: 22.9 mph; 81st pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.79 a game
Distance: 3.23 miles a game
Hardest shot: 92.4 mph; 90th 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

2024-25 · 1222 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, 2024-25

The club: PHI took 52.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.9% — 2.2 below the club he did it on.
The role: First line, 1,222 minutes at five-on-five — 86th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Sean Couturier	49.0%	51.0%	56.1%
Travis Sanheim	53.8%	47.1%	53.3%
Jamie Drysdale	47.8%	51.0%	51.8%

49.0% together, 51.0% for him apart and 56.1% for Couturier apart. Couturier 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

300 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 27 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 27% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 29% from beyond forty.
