This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
24 goals and 22 assists in seventy-six games at 16:30 a night, minus-14, twenty-three penalty minutes. One hundred and forty-first overall in 2018, two seasons, 130 games, 40 career goals, at 24.
Twenty-four goals is a career high by eight.
The Finesse Game
2.27 even-strength points per 60 is the 74th percentile and only seven per cent of his points came on the power play, the 28th — this was nearly all even-strength scoring, which is the durable kind.
8.03 shots per 60 is the 63rd percentile at 14.3 per cent, the 75th. Forty-six per cent from the slot at a 26-foot median: ordinary volume, good conversion, sensible locations.
51.7 per cent of the expected goals is the 65th percentile. His ice went 52-68 against an expectation of 47.34-44.19 — twenty-four goals against above what the chances warranted, the largest gap of any New Jersey forward and a pure statement about the crease.
Across 999 attempts with Jack Hughes he took 52.4 per cent and 52.5 without him, which is the only neutral Hughes pairing on the roster.
2.30 takeaways per 60 is the 88th percentile.
The Physical Game
1.43 hits per 60 is the 10th percentile and 1.24 blocks the 27th at 6-2 and 196. He does not play a physical game at all.
0.29 penalties taken per 60 is the 9th percentile and twenty-three penalty minutes came out of seventy-six games, against 2.30 takeaways at the 88th.
The Intangibles
22.5 mph is the 53rd percentile, 5.0 bursts per 60 the 48th, 9.92 miles per 60 the 75th. Entirely ordinary, with slightly above-average ground covered.
He is 24 with forty goals in 130 games from a fifth-round pick. The even-strength scoring rate and the takeaway number are the two things that travel, and neither depends on a power play that finished 30th in the league.
What kind of player
The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 29 points above where the report does. 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 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 58 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 84.1
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.

- The club
- NJD took 51.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.7% — 0.3 above the club he did it on.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jack Hughes | 52.4% | 51.0% | 52.5% |
| Ryan Graves | 51.9% | 51.6% | 52.1% |
| Damon Severson | 56.1% | 49.4% | 50.3% |
52.4% together, 51.0% for him apart and 52.5% for Hughes apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
235 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 25 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 36% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 20% from beyond forty.
