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 stylePhysical depth defenseman
Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26
Chiarot is a hard-nosed, physical presence who plays heavy on the forecheck and moves the puck cleanly out of trouble. His defensive impact has diminished significantly, and he doesn't generate much offensively through playmaking or rush chances.

Where he shoots from
Slot 6% · Mid-range 19% · Perimeter 75%(161 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Exceptional physicality at 91st percentile keeps opponents off balance
- Strong puck management (80th) helps transition play smoothly
- Solid forechecking engagement (55th) pins opponents in their zone
Watch-outs
- Defensive impact (3rd percentile) suggests limited effectiveness preventing chances
- Playmaking (23rd percentile) means minimal setup creation from the point
- Most shots from perimeter (75%) rather than high-danger areas

Game Score adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
