So far: 0 pts in 0 games. The team has played 3 of 84 games. Projected pace: 0.17 pts per game (last season: 0.19).

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.

  • Points per game: 0.22 in 23-24, 0.19 in 25-26
  • PAL Rating: 41 → 35

Outlook, age included

→ StableAge 28: prime years

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, 2025-26

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.

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.
