The split inside last season
His 2025-26 line, 35 points in 72 games, hides a split. He had 10 points in his first 36 games and 25 in his last 36, starting in late January. This season picks up where that second half left off.
Thin line: rolling 10-game average, carried across the summer. Bold lines: averages for each stretch.

What's different this season
The change this year is how often he shoots. He averaged 1.5 shots a game last season and is at 2.3 now. Five of his nine points have come on the power play.
Ten games is a small sample, and shooting rates settle faster than scoring rates. The shot rate is the number to watch.
