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

1 goal and 10 assists in 73 games — 11 points, minus-23, at 19:31 a night with 52 penalty minutes. His 5-on-5 work was done in Vancouver.

The Finesse Game

Almost none left. 133 unblocked attempts from a median of 46 feet and 1 goal. 100 goals in 1,139 career games, and one of them last season.

10 assists in 73 games from 19 minutes a night is close to nothing.

The Physical Game

6-8 and 229, and the reach still ends plays. 52 penalty minutes. He can break up a rush by simply extending an arm, and in front of his own net he takes up more space than anyone.

The skating is the problem and has been for a decade. When beaten he cannot recover, and forwards know it.

The Intangibles

44.5 per cent of the expected goals, 12th percentile, with the expected goals 44.5 to 55.5 against across 1,213 minutes. The minus-23 is not an accident of luck; the process agrees with it.

He is 36, a 12th overall pick, a Calder winner 17 seasons ago, and 1,139 games into a career that has been about the same argument the whole way through: he looks like a top-pair defenceman and the results have rarely said he is one.

Dallas has added him to a blue line whose method is to defend the middle. He is very large and he does not move. 3 points in his last 10.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 1,213 minutes

Expected goals: 44.5%; 13th pct
Shot attempts: 47.1%; 28th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 35 for, 64 against. Expected: 44.5 and 55.5.

The eye and the numbers

Sighted

Report

6th

Numbers

13th

The two rank him within 7 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

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 — 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 73 games

Top speed: 22.5 mph; 82nd pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.53 a game
Distance: 2.77 miles a game
Hardest shot: 92.7 mph; 63rd 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.

Recent form

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

Usual linemates

2025-26 with VAN · 968 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: DAL took 50.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 44.5% — 6.0 below the club he did it on.
The role: 1,213 minutes at five-on-five — 83rd percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Evander Kane	41.8%	45.6%	44.4%
Marcus Pettersson	37.2%	47.0%	44.0%
Drew O'Connor	45.8%	44.1%	44.8%

41.8% together, 45.6% for him apart and 44.4% for Kane apart. He was better away from Kane, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Kane.

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

133 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 14 feet. 10% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 64% from beyond forty.
