All ratings
Every rating, against other defensemen.
This season’s 5 games blended with last season’s 68, and pulled toward the average defenseman by an amount that depends on how quickly each rating settles.
He played for Washington Capitals last season. Habits that travel with a player (shooting, hitting, penalties) still use that season in full; setting up goals, finishing, faceoffs and power-play chances depend more on linemates and role, so they lean on it less. We measured how much each one carries over for players who change teams.
This season’s 5 games only, pulled toward the average defenseman. Expect wide ranges this early.

Hitting, shot blocking and takeaways are arena-adjusted scores (100 is the average defenseman); switch “Hits and takeaways” to Raw in the settings to see the numbers as recorded. How the ratings work.
Shots
Where his shots come from, and how his misses miss.
69 unblocked shots, this season and last, from his point of view. 6 more from outside the zone. Empty nets left out.
2 unblocked shots, this season, from his point of view. 1 more from outside the zone. Empty nets left out.
How his misses miss
23 missed shots. “Wide left” is from his point of view.
No missed shots yet.
The NHL’s game data records how a shot missed, but not where in the net a goal or save went (glove side, blocker, five-hole). That needs paid camera tracking, so we don’t show it.
