2026-27 in all situations, beside his record before (his seasons since 2019-20) and the league's defencemen.

Sh% z +1.0. Within what chance gives: at the 5.9% expected of him, his 30 shots could well have brought this. Expected: his record before blended with 100 shots at the league rate; past ±2 is about one time in twenty by chance.

2026-27 shot maps

Unblocked attempts in all situations, the net attacked at the top. A blocked attempt has no shot location, so these are goals, shots on goal and misses. Shots at an empty net are left out.
