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
All 82 games, 25 goals and 52 assists for 77 points, 11 on the power play, 1 shorthanded, 55 penalty minutes, 21:27 a night and plus-16. He took 55.0 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,260 minutes, the 87th percentile, and his ice went 65-54 against an expectation of 63.14-51.72.
Two goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and two more conceded than they called for. Seventy-seven points is a career high by two, at 30, in his eleventh season.
The Finesse Game
361 attempts at a median of 22 feet, with 44 per cent from inside twenty and only 8 per cent from beyond forty, 215 on goal, converted at 11.6 per cent against a career 10.66.
322 career assists in 719 games. Eight per cent from beyond forty is one of the lowest figures on any roster in this edition — he does not shoot from the perimeter at all, and every attempt is taken either from the slot or not taken.
The Physical Game
He is 5-11 and 187 and plays a far harder game than the size suggests.
485 career penalty minutes in 719 games is a real rate. He takes the defensive-zone draw, forechecks aggressively, wins the wall against bigger men, and kills penalties with 8 career shorthanded goals.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick in 2011 out of Pittsburgh, eleven seasons across three organisations, and 519 points in 719 games.
He is 31 and played twenty-one and a half minutes a night on a club that finished first. A second-line centre who takes every situation and finished 87th percentile is the least-discussed important player on this roster.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 9 points of one another. 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.
Both bars are percentiles among the 415 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 79 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.

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
- NYR took 50.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 55.0% — 4.9 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,260 minutes at five-on-five — 87th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alexis Lafrenière | 56.6% | 49.3% | 53.3% |
| Artemi Panarin | 58.2% | 43.3% | 53.8% |
| Adam Fox | 58.2% | 53.0% | 52.0% |
56.6% together, 49.3% for him apart and 53.3% for Lafrenière 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
361 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 26 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 44% of his shots came from inside twenty feet.
