How the Player Profile Works

Header + tiles

Bio, current team and his next scheduled game (times in Central). The tiles summarize his most recent regular season ('23-24). Per-game numbers are season totals divided by games played; TOI/GP is average ice time; PPG power-play goals.

Props

One row per prop Hard Rock Bet offers for skaters (shots on goal, points, goals, assists). Hard Rock line is the newest Hard Rock number for his next game (the main line when several alternates are posted). Only Hard Rock is used — when Hard Rock hasn't posted him yet the rates use the prop's default line, labelled as such. No other sportsbook is ever shown.

Every rate is the share of games the stat went over that line (a push on a whole number counts as a miss). Season is this season (last season until he has 5 games, tagged); L5/L10/L20 are his last 5/10/20 games across seasons; Home/Away use the same games as Season; vs Opp is against his next opponent this season and last. Regular season only.

vs HR close counts games where his stat finished Over / Under / exactly on (Push) the Hard Rock closing line for that game, this season and last. Hard Rock's archive starts with 2024-25 and live capture with 2026-27, so older seasons show no closing lines.

Game Log

Every game of the chosen season (add playoffs with the checkbox). Result is his team's result and score (OT/SO when it went past regulation). +/- plus/minus, PIM penalty minutes, Blk blocked shots, PPG power-play goals, TOI ice time, Shifts times on the ice. The HR close columns show the Hard Rock closing line for that game and whether he went Over, Under or Push; — means Hard Rock had no closing line for him.

Splits

Per-game averages for '23-24 regular season, split by home/away, rest (back-to-back = second night in a row; rest is days off since his team's previous game) and recent form. vs opponent rows cover this season and last.

News

Player updates from ESPN — Rotowire blurbs (lineup changes, injuries, starts, hot streaks) and ESPN articles, newest first, times in Central. The feed refreshes when you open the tab (at most every 15 minutes) and we keep every item, so the history grows past ESPN's own short window. Injury history lists each status ESPN's injury report gave him (Day-To-Day, Out, Injured Reserve) with the note at the time; a red or amber chip by his name means he is on the report right now.

Career

Season-by-season totals from the loaded history (data starts 2015-16), regular season and playoffs separately. Teams are listed in the order he played for them that season.
