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

31 goals and 28 assists in all 82 games — 59 points at 17:19 a night, with 6 power-play goals, 3 shorthanded goals and 4 game-winners on 179 shots, converting at 17.32 per cent, and 8 penalty minutes. A career high in every column.

Eight penalty minutes in eighty-two games is one of the lowest rates in this edition.

52.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,065 minutes, the 71st percentile — the best mark of any forward on this roster who was here. His ice went 50-35 against an expectation of 43.84-39.80 — six goals scored above expectation and five fewer conceded.

The Finesse Game

179 attempts at a median of 28 feet, with 32 per cent from inside 20 and 21 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 17.32 per cent against a career 14.19 across 592 shots.

The release is quick off the rush and it goes in from the middle distance, which is the most valuable and least common profile a second-line winger can have. Thirty-one goals from 179 attempts is a rate that will fall; the shooter producing it is real.

28 assists. He is a finisher first and the passing is competent rather than a strength.

The Physical Game

6-2 and 196. He forechecks honestly without punishing anybody and he does not win pucks on the wall against a heavy defenceman.

8 penalty minutes in 82 games and 51 in 287 for his career. He does not agitate, he does not retaliate, and there is essentially nothing unnecessary in the season. He is trusted a man short and has 8 career shorthanded goals in 287 games, which for a scoring winger is unusual.

The Intangibles

A hundred and forty-first overall in 2018 — a fifth-round pick — out of Minsk, and 287 games and 165 points at 26 across two clubs, with a career minus-50.

He was traded here for Tyler Toffoli. A fifth-round pick who scores thirty-one goals and takes eight penalty minutes is the best piece of business on this roster, and on a club that has just traded most of its top end he is now the most important forward under thirty.

The eye and the numbers

The two rank him within 4 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 201 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.

Usual linemates

2023-24 · 1065 minutes at five-on-five

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
CGY took 49.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.4% — 2.5 above the club he did it on.
The role
Second line, 1,065 minutes at five-on-five — 67th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Rasmus Andersson50.7%53.5%47.7%

52.9% together, 52.0% for him apart and 50.1% for Huberdeau 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

271 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 34 of them goals. His median goal came from 20 feet. 33% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
