Troy Terry
Anaheim Ducks Right Wing
Thirty-seven goals, then twenty-three, and the club's only forward whose ice broke even.

This Season So Far
The 2023-24 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
23 goals and 38 assists in 70 games — 61 points at 19:22 a night, minus-8, with 5 power-play goals on 188 shots, converting at 12.23 per cent, and 22 penalty minutes.
Thirty-seven goals the season before, twenty-three this one. The points barely moved because the assists went up, which is the more encouraging half.
45.4 per cent of the expected goals over 1,091 minutes at five-on-five, the 23rd percentile — the best of any forward here. His ice went 54-55. On a club that was outscored 209-338, one man broke even.
The Finesse Game
188 attempts at a median of 24 feet, 41 per cent from inside 20 and 13 per cent from beyond 40, off an 86.2 mph shot at the 17th percentile. He is not a heavy shooter and he does not pretend to be; the goals come from arriving in the right place a half-second early.
The hockey sense is the best on the roster. He finds a teammate coming late, he does not force the low-percentage play, and 38 assists on a club that scored 209 goals is a genuinely good season disguised by the standings.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 193, and the game is played away from contact by design — 22 penalty minutes in 70 games, and he does not forecheck with force or win a puck on the wall against a heavy defenceman.
The skating carries him: 2.99 miles a game at the 79th percentile with 1.8 bursts at the 82nd, which is a winger who works the whole shift rather than one who flies past people.
The Intangibles
A hundred and forty-eighth overall in 2015 — a fifth-round pick who became a first-line NHL winger, which is rare enough to be worth stating plainly.
He is 26, with 274 games and 176 points, all of them here, and a seven-year contract that has just begun. The 37-goal season is now two years old, and the question Anaheim has bought is whether it was the player or the year.
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.

- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.
- drives-play· the shot clock turns his way while he is out there

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 38 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 58 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 63 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
2022-23 · 1091 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, 2022-23
- The club
- ANA took 39.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 45.4% — 5.7 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 1,091 minutes at five-on-five — 69th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trevor Zegras | 49.9% | 40.6% | 37.9% |
| Adam Henrique | 46.7% | 44.1% | 42.6% |
| Cam Fowler | 47.5% | 43.8% | 39.6% |
49.9% together, 40.6% for him apart and 37.9% for Zegras apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
284 unblocked shots in 2022-23, 25 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 42% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
