Greenville 2025-26 Season in Review

Team analytics, player leaders, offensive production, and goaltending performance from the 2025–26 ECHL season.

Team Performance Snapshot

David Gagnon emerged as Greensboro’s top pure finisher. Gagnon led the team in goals while producing a comparatively lower assist total, making him the club’s most direct scoring threat and one of the few players consistently finishing chances at a high rate.
Ethan Leyh and Patrick Newell drove much of the offensive creation. Both forwards posted high assist totals while still contributing meaningful goal production, showing their importance as playmakers and offensive facilitators within the lineup.
Blake Biondi provided balanced offensive production. Biondi combined double-digit goals with strong assist numbers, giving Greensboro a reliable two-way scoring contributor who generated offense in multiple ways.
Ryan Richardson quietly delivered efficient scoring production. Richardson stood out for converting a relatively modest assist total into a strong goal total, indicating a more shoot-first offensive profile compared to some of the team’s primary playmakers.
Defensemen contributed more as support pieces than primary scorers. Artyom Borshyov, Noah Delmas, and Dalton Skelly all added assists from the back end, but overall the Gargoyles relied heavily on forwards for offensive production throughout the season.

Greensboro struggled at both ends of the ice throughout the season. The Gargoyles finished near the bottom-left of the Team Identity Map, indicating below-average offensive production combined with one of the league’s weakest defensive profiles.
Patrick Newell and Ethan Leyh led the offense despite difficult team conditions. Both players reached 29 points while carrying heavily negative plus/minus ratings, reflecting how much offensive responsibility they handled on a team that spent much of the season defending.
Blake Biondi and David Gagnon provided the primary finishing ability. Biondi combined strong goal scoring with balanced production, while Gagnon emerged as one of the club’s most efficient pure finishers despite limited offensive support around him.
The roster lacked positive plus/minus contributors. Nearly every regular skater finished below even, highlighting the team-wide defensive struggles and the difficulty Greensboro had controlling play consistently at five-on-five.
Goaltenders faced heavy pressure throughout the season. Ruslan Khazheyev handled a very large workload while posting the stronger save percentage, while Nikita Quapp also faced significant shot volume. The goaltending numbers reflect how frequently Greensboro was forced to defend in its own zone.
