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
76 games in Colorado, 12 goals and 5 assists for 17 points, 40 penalty minutes, 14:35 a night and plus-15. He took 51.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 951 minutes, the 61st percentile, and his ice went 33-26 against an expectation of 37.52-35.93, all of it with the Avalanche.
Five goals of scoring that did not arrive and ten fewer conceded than the chances called for. Twelve goals and five assists is a fourth-line line and the plus-15 is the point of him.
The Finesse Game
116 shots at a median of 23 feet with 44 per cent from inside 20, converted at 10.3 per cent, which is his career rate almost exactly.
34 career assists in 299 games. There is no playmaking here at all — five assists in seventy-six games says it plainly. He shoots from close in because that is the only place he goes.
The Physical Game
He hits hard at 6-2 and 201 and finishes every check he starts.
164 career penalty minutes in 299 games is a real rate for a man who plays fourteen minutes. He forechecks aggressively, wins the wall, and kills penalties with 2 career shorthanded goals.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick in 2015 out of Chelyabinsk, five seasons across two organisations, and 82 points in 299 games.
He is 27 and was signed to kill penalties on a club that was 25th at it. That is the entire brief and he is capable of it.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 14 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 — 65 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
2023-24 with NSH · 781 minutes at five-on-five
- Cole Smith29%
- Cody Glassnow PIT16%
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
- COL took 52.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.1% — 1.2 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 951 minutes at five-on-five — 52nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colton Sissons | 48.5% | 54.1% | 51.3% |
| Ryan McDonagh | 50.2% | 51.4% | 56.5% |
| Roman Josi | 51.6% | 50.9% | 54.8% |
48.5% together, 54.1% for him apart and 51.3% for Sissons apart. He was better away from Sissons, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Sissons.
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
179 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 9 feet. 44% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 17% from beyond forty.
