xGF% is his team's share of 5v5 expected goals while he was on the ice, from our own expected goals model; HDCF% counts only high-danger chances (xG of 0.15 or more). IPP is the share of his team's 5v5 goals while he was on the ice that he scored or assisted on. Relative stats compare him with his team when he was off the ice. Goals above expected and ixG/60 use his own shots at all strengths. PDO and OZS% describe luck and deployment, so their bars are grey.

Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26
Petry is a steady, stay-at-home defender who uses his length and positioning to limit chances against, playing a conservative game focused on impact rather than offensive creation. He keeps plays to the perimeter and rarely initiates transition offense, fitting best as a depth piece in a sheltered role.

Where he shoots from
Slot 9% · Mid-range 19% · Perimeter 72%(94 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Defensive impact in the 73rd percentile, making him a reliable last line of defense
- Forechecking in the 59th percentile shows he engages in the offensive zone effectively
- Physicality at the 60th percentile provides a physical presence on the back end
Watch-outs
- Puck management at 30th percentile limits his transition game and zone entries
- Rush chances in the 31st percentile shows difficulty generating offensive breaks
- Speed at 64th percentile is modest for a modern NHL defenseman
Similar style: Tyler Tucker (STL), Mattias Ekholm (EDM)
Built from play-by-play, shift data, and NHL EDGE tracking. Zone entries is an estimate (rush chances while he is on the ice) until tracking data is added.

Game Score gives credit for everything a player does in a game. Goals (1.0) and assists (0.7 primary, 0.5 secondary) count most; shots, blocks, hits, takeaways, penalties drawn, faceoff wins, killing penalties, and holding down the other team's chances add to it. Only mistakes subtract: goals against at 5-on-5, giveaways, penalties taken, faceoff losses, and allowing more chances than an average player would. A player who is there to defend or kill penalties is not marked down for not scoring. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
