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
26 games, 1 goal and 1 assist, 42 penalty minutes, 12:27 a night and plus-1. He took 43.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 317 minutes, the 19th percentile, and his ice went 16-15 against an expectation of 10.39-13.31.
Six goals of finishing above what the chances were worth across 317 minutes, which is an enormous residual for the ice. Forty-two penalty minutes in 26 games is the highest rate on the club by a distance.
The Finesse Game
21 attempts at a median of 59 feet with 86 per cent of them from beyond forty and not one from inside twenty, 17 of those on goal, converted at 5.9 per cent.
Two career goals and 4 assists in 52 games. There is no offence here and no pretence of any; the shot goes to the net from the blue line to be tipped and nothing else in his game happens with the puck.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 204 and took 42 penalty minutes in 26 games.
Seventy-three career penalty minutes in 52 games. He fights, he runs people, and at twelve minutes a night on a third pairing that is the entire reason a seventh-round pick has an NHL career.
The Intangibles
Two hundredth overall in 2018 by St. Louis, two seasons, one organisation, and 6 points in 52 games.
A career minus-8 in 52 games. He was the two-hundredth man taken in his draft and has played 52 NHL games, which for a seventh-rounder is already more than the odds allowed.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 33 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 69 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

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
- STL took 44.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 43.8% — 1.0 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 317 minutes at five-on-five — 7th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marco Scandella | 44.2% | 43.1% | 40.3% |
| Kevin Hayes | 35.8% | 48.0% | 45.2% |
| Brayden Schenn | 50.0% | 41.4% | 43.1% |
44.2% together, 43.1% for him apart and 40.3% for Scandella apart. Scandella was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Scandella 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
21 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 38 feet. 0% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 86% from beyond forty.
