Games

So far: 0 pts in 0 games. The team has played 4 of 84 games. Projected pace: 0.41 pts per game.

The projection follows last season's pace. Tested on 2,265 player seasons (2022-23 to 2025-26): average miss of 9 points over 82 games; for players at 0.9 points per game and up, it ran 5 points high on average.

This is only a projection. It extends the pace of recent seasons, pulled toward the league average and adjusted for age. It knows nothing about future injuries, trades, or line and power-play changes. About one player in five finishes outside the range. The trend is a hint, not a verdict.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2024-25

How we rate →

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.

From 0 to 100; 50 is the average player at the same position, adjusted for ice time.

WAR estimates how many wins a player added to the team, compared with a replacement-level player it could have called up from the AHL. It adds up offense, defense, special teams, shooting and penalties, then converts those goals into wins.

Player tracking (NHL EDGE)

League EDGE leaderboards →

NHL EDGE measures what the eye can't put a number on: skating speed, shot power, distance covered and time spent in each zone, captured by chips in the puck and the shoulder pads. The percentile places the player within the league: 90th means better than 90% of players.
