Weights follow what the average fantasy league actually counts: goals at 3× assists (the universal core), power-play points and game-winners at half weight (common extra categories), OT goals, shots and PIM small (many leagues skip them), and ice time as a quiet availability bonus. The scale: add up a whole season of those categories and compare against the best defensemen in the NHL — an elite season scores about 166 points, and that is what 100 means. So 31 points is 19 out of a perfect fantasy season at his position. Defensemen and forwards are graded on separate scales because the D slot can only be filled by a defenseman. Goals and assists come from the backtested season model; the rest ride your own season-to-date pace over 84 games (17 games so far — small sample, secondary lines will move as roles settle). Hits/blocks are excluded: the free NHL feeds don't publish full-season totals, and we don't invent them.
The Situation
- Did not play the last 3 games (healthy scratch or injury — check the club report before rostering).
- Availability: played 11 of 14 for NYR — missed 3 games (2026-11-07, 2026-11-09, 2026-11-11).
- Ironman warning: multiple absences already — treat nightly projections for this player as low-confidence.
- Injury report (2026-11-10): week to week — Alberts Smits is week to week for the Rangers because of an upper-body injury. The 18-year-old defenseman, who was placed on injured reserve…

Season stats
NHL regular-season totals, season by season. The 84-G proj line extends the current season with our public model — methodology in the caption below the table.
| Season | Team | GP | G | A | P | +/- | PIM | PPG | PPP | SHG | TOI/GP | GWG | OTG | S | S% | FOW% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-27 | Rangers | 17 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -2 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14:29 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 0.0% | 0.0% |

84-G proj — current pace blended with the player's own history (recent seasons weighted heaviest), mixed with a similarity projection from historical players with comparable profiles, then adjusted for the aging curve (league-average peak at 27; decline after) — at age 18 that is 5%. Dashes mark stats the model doesn't project.
