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

All 82 games, 31 goals and 26 assists for 57 points, 2 on the power play, 2 shorthanded, 28 penalty minutes, 17:59 a night and plus-11. He took 57.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,156 minutes, the 95th percentile, and his ice went 59-46 against an expectation of 55.35-40.16.

Four goals of finishing above expectation and six more conceded than the chances called for. Thirty-one goals from an undrafted 5-11 winger on a club that scores as little as this one is a genuinely important season.

The Finesse Game

244 shots at a median of 23 feet with 44 per cent from inside 20, converted at 12.7 per cent against a career 9.7.

99 career assists in 345 games. There is no dangle and no distance shot. He arrives at the net before the defenceman has finished turning, and the goals come from being there.

The Physical Game

He forechecks harder than anybody on the roster at 5-11 and 195, and he wins pucks off men who outweigh him by thirty pounds.

28 penalty minutes in 82 games is a low rate for somebody who initiates this much. He does not retaliate and he does not take liberties; he simply arrives first and keeps arriving.

The Intangibles

Undrafted, out of Thousand Oaks, California, by way of Denver, and 345 games since. He kills penalties and has 10 career shorthanded goals in 345 games.

He is 29 and the whole of his value is effort at speed, which is the combination that goes without warning. Until it does he is the most useful forward on this roster after Kopitar.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report
83rd
Numbers
96th

The two rank him within 13 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 379 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 73 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 · 1156 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, 2023-24

The club
LAK took 54.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 57.9% — 3.8 above the club he did it on.
The role
First line, 1,156 minutes at five-on-five — 78th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Phillip Danault58.0%57.4%52.9%
Kevin Fiala59.0%56.7%57.8%
Drew Doughty55.5%59.6%54.8%

58.0% together, 57.4% for him apart and 52.9% for Danault apart. Danault was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Danault 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

357 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 34 of them goals. His median goal came from 15 feet. 44% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 22% from beyond forty.
