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 14 assists in 69 games — 17 points, minus-4, at 14:22 a night with 81 penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
94 unblocked attempts from a median of 50 feet, 67 per cent from beyond 40, 3 goals. 30 points in 159 career games.
14 assists in 69 games is a fair third-pair return and rather more than the draft position suggested was coming.
The Physical Game
6-1, 204, and he plays a violent, committed game — he hits everything, blocks shots, and drops the gloves. 81 penalty minutes in 14 minutes a night is one of the higher rates in this edition.
The skating is heavy and it caps him at a third pair.
The Intangibles
52.1 per cent of the expected goals, 71st percentile, and 50.8 per cent of the shot attempts, 65th — the best combined figures of any St. Louis defenceman — across 917 minutes, with the chances 37.6 to 34.5 in his favour.
That is a genuinely good season from a 2 100th overall pick in a sheltered role, and it is worth more than the 17 points suggest.
5 points in his last 10. He is 26, and on a blue line carrying Fowler at 34 and Parayko at 33 he is the sort of cheap, hard, effective defenceman that makes a cap sheet work.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe numbers rank him 33 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 — 70 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.

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.

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
- STL took 50.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.1% — 1.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third pair, 917 minutes at five-on-five — 51st percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Justin Faulk | 49.3% | 54.1% | 43.9% |
| Brayden Schenn | 49.7% | 52.9% | 49.2% |
| Jimmy Snuggerud | 56.1% | 50.9% | 48.5% |
49.3% together, 54.1% for him apart and 43.9% for Faulk apart. He was carrying it: the share stayed with him and left Faulk behind.
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
94 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 55 feet. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 67% from beyond forty.
