Expected goals come from our own model and rate every unblocked shot he faced by its chance of going in. High-danger shots are those worth 0.15 expected goals or more. Percentiles compare him with goalies who played 600 minutes that season. xGA/60 shows how hard his workload was, so its bar is grey.

Play styleElite steady starter

Trait percentiles vs. NHL goalies · 2025-26

Wedgewood's numbers show a very consistent starter who rarely gives up soft goals, with routine saves (94th percentile) and penalty kill saves (97th) standing out. Nothing falls below average, though rebound control (60th) is his least impressive trait.

High-danger saves: 69

Strengths

Quality starts in 74% of starts, 100th percentile for consistency.
Routine saves rate in the 94th percentile, so few easy goals get in.
PK save percentage sits in the 97th percentile when shorthanded.

Watch-outs

Rebound control is his lowest trait at the 60th percentile, still above average.
High-danger saves are good at the 69th percentile, but .769 leaves room to climb.

Where his Game Score comes from

+0.43 per game

2025-26 · 45 GP

Season total +19.4, or +0.43 per game.

Goaltending: +19.4

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.
