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 depth center

Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26

Jarnkrok is a low-volume contributor who manages the puck well and plays sound defense, but lacks the shooting touch and physical presence to drive offensive chances. He's a steady fourth-line operator in limited minutes.

Where he shoots from

Slot 32% · Mid-range 36% · Perimeter 32%(66 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Puck management at 70th percentile keeps plays moving cleanly
  • Defensive impact at 60th percentile provides reliable checking
  • Zone entries at 58th percentile show adequate transition ability

Watch-outs

  • Shooting volume at 8th percentile, almost no offensive threat
  • Playmaking at 8th percentile limits setup creation
  • Speed at 28th percentile affects forechecking effectiveness

Similar style: Sam Steel (DAL), Phillip Danault (MTL)

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.
