All ratings
Every rating, against other forwards.
This season’s 4 games blended with last season’s 68, and pulled toward the average forward by an amount that depends on how quickly each rating settles.
He played for Philadelphia Flyers 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.
Shooting volume, creating his own chances, shot blocking, hardest shot and distance skated compare wingers with wingers, because centers and wingers really differ there. Everything else compares all forwards.
This season’s 4 games only, pulled toward the average forward. Expect wide ranges this early.

168 unblocked shots, this season and last, from his point of view. 5 more from outside the zone. Empty nets left out.

2 missed shots. “Wide left” is from his point of view.
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.
