Example prompt: What are Connor McDavid's goals, assists, and plus/minus stats for this season? His NHL player ID is 8478402.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need individual NHL player profiles and season stats — especially goals, assists, and plus/minus — and you already have the player's NHL numeric ID. Ideal for fantasy hockey apps, sports dashboards, or any agent task requiring per-player hockey performance data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown player ID returns a 404 or error response
- Player ID for a non-NHL player or retired player may return no data
- Network timeout if the upstream NHL data source is unavailable
- Malformed player_id (e.g. non-numeric string) may return a validation error
