Where his Game Score comes from

2026-27 · 1 GP · goals above average

Season total +0.3 goals, or +0.34 per game.

Goaltending
+0.3

Game Score adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
