Goals above replacement (GAR), itemized. Season rows add to the total exactly; the per-60 view shows each state at its own pace.

Bars are percentile ranks vs qualified forwards; the printed value is the measurement behind the bar.

Percentages are his effect on a league-average line's rate — that line with him on, in place of an average skater; suppression rows show the effect on the opposing line's rate against, so negative is good. Hover a value for the underlying rating.

Penalty rows are minors drawn and taken per 60 of all minutes played; the taken bar ranks fewer as better.

Special-teams usage is ranked only among skaters deployed there (at least 0:30 a game) — below that the row reads not deployed.
