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

3 goals and 11 assists in 68 games — 14 points, plus-6, at 16:14 a night with 18 penalty minutes. His 5-on-5 work was done in Washington.

The Finesse Game

Almost none. 64 unblocked attempts from a median of 48 feet, 3 goals. 28 goals in 751 career games.

11 assists in 68 games. He makes the first pass and defends, and has done for 12 seasons.

The Physical Game

6-3, 210, and he defends by being early rather than by being hard. 18 penalty minutes in 68 games.

The skating is adequate and the positioning is why a man with no offence has played 750 NHL games.

The Intangibles

Exactly 49.6 per cent of the expected goals, 51st percentile, against 47.8 per cent of the shot attempts, 33rd, across 981 minutes on a good Washington club.

The goals went 41-37 in his favour.

He is 34, undrafted out of New Hampshire, and has built a 12-season career out of never being the problem. Pittsburgh’s blue line needs exactly that behind 2 men in their late thirties.

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 numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 981 minutes

Expected goals: 49.6%; 52nd pct
Shot attempts: 47.8%; 34th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 41 for, 37 against. Expected: 40.6 and 41.3.

The eye and the numbers

Sighted

Report

15th

Numbers

52nd

The numbers rank him 37 points above where the report does. It was written with these numbers on screen and departs from them anyway, which makes the gap a judgment rather than an oversight. 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 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 65 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, 2025-26 · 68 games

Top speed: 22.1 mph; 66th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.44 a game
Distance: 2.19 miles a game
Hardest shot: 84.1 mph; 20th 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.

Each bar is one game by points. Filled bars are games he scored in.

Usual linemates

2025-26 with WSH · 981 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, 2025-26

The club: WSH took 49.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.6% — 0.1 above the club he did it on.
The role: Third pair, 981 minutes at five-on-five — 58th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Jakob Chychrun	48.7%	50.1%	50.8%
Rasmus Sandin	50.6%	49.2%	49.5%
Anthony Beauvillier	47.1%	50.6%	48.6%

48.7% together, 50.1% for him apart and 50.8% for Chychrun apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.

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

64 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 6 feet. 27% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 56% from beyond forty.
