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.
Play styleDefensive-minded veteran center
Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26
Schenn is a gritty, physical presence who wins puck battles and controls the forecheck, but he's becoming a limited offensive creator with minimal rush chances and declining shot volume. He plays a hard-nosed game focused on defense and physicality rather than generating scoring chances.

Strengths
- Excellent forechecking at 75th percentile shows relentless puck pressure
- Strong physicality at 72nd percentile drives physical play and puck wins
- Solid puck management at 68th percentile keeps possession clean
Watch-outs
- Rush chances at 14th percentile indicate trouble entering the zone with speed
- Defensive impact at 26th percentile suggests limited defensive playmaking value
- Shot volume at 38th percentile shows he's not driving offensive play

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
