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 styleScoring facilitator

Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26

Where he shoots from

Slot 48% · Mid-range 33% · Perimeter 19%(252 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • 92nd percentile in shooting volume, registering 252 unblocked shots with 48% from the slot
  • 80th percentile playmaking, recording 30 assists despite limited creativity tools
  • 77th percentile defensive impact, maintaining neutral-zone control and limiting scoring chances

Watch-outs

  • 14th percentile speed limits his ability to create fresh rush chances or escape pressure
  • 30th percentile forechecking means limited puck pursuit and limited chances to generate turnovers

Similar style: Sam Reinhart (FLA), Linus Karlsson (VAN)

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 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.
