Ryan Donato565official NHL regular-season games to date

Sample: 10 forwards taken #56, drawn only from classes old enough to judge, on the Schuckers-style pick curve published on Draft Value. A base rate describes a slot, not a person: it cannot predict this career and is not used to grade it.

Floor rule: rates below a minimum sample are suppressed, not shown thin. Exact slot needs 12+ players, the pooled pick-curve band needs 32+, matching this site's builders to the nhl-draft-intel engine's own bucket-calibration floors (12 / 18 / 32).

Method: each season's raw points per game is multiplied by 3.00 ÷ that season's league goals per team-game, taken from the official final standings. Seasons under 20 games are excluded. It levels scoring climate and nothing else (not role, ice time, teammates, schedule or injury), so treat it as one comparison, not a verdict.

The comparable set.

Chosen by a printed rule, not by feelNHL dossier pool · 1,162 careers

Selection rule. Forwards only; career games played within ±20% of 565 (or ±10 games, whichever band is wider: 452 to 678); then the five nearest by career P/GP, ties broken by the closest games played. The pool is the 1,162 players in this site's NHL dossier set who own at least one official regular-season game: 88 of them cleared the band.

Similar career shape is not similar player. The rule matches volume and rate only; it knows nothing about era, position within the group, usage or role, and two careers can land on the same line for opposite reasons.

Method: 122 shots on goal in 2025-26, placed by the NHL into the areas it names; each area is shaded by its share of his total, so this map is his distribution and not a comparison to any other player. The percentile column is the league's own for shots from that area, where it publishes one; nothing is converted, ranked or combined. Areas as the NHL names them; the drawing is to rink proportion with the net at the top.

Against the goaltenders.

Best and worst goaltenders faced · 3 seasonsNHL play-by-play · 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26 · 4,192 games · fetched 2026-08-18

459 shots on goal against 75 goaltenders, 58 goals: 12.6% overall, against a league baseline of 10.2%. 1 of those goaltenders have seen the 20 shots a rate is published on below.

Best against: minimum 20 shots on goal

Goaltender	SOG	G	SH%	Top shot
Cam TalbotDET	20	2	10.0%	wrist

Worst against: same 20-shot minimum

Goaltender	SOG	G	SH%	Top shot
Cam TalbotDET	20	2	10.0%	wrist

Method: every shot is attributed to the goaltender the feed says was in the net (details.goalieInNetId). Blocked shots and empty-net events are both excluded, the first because the puck never reached a goaltender and the second because there was none to charge. Shooting percentage is goals divided by shots on goal, the league definition. The league baseline of 10.2% beside each rate is computed from the same 241,107 shots this dataset counted, so the two figures are measured the same way. A 20-shot minimum is a small sample by any standard and these boards will move; they are a record of what has happened, not a prediction of what will.
