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 center
Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26
Lowry is a tough, high-impact defender who uses his physical presence and smart positioning to shut down opponents. He moves the puck cleanly and plays a workmanlike game, though he rarely shoots and doesn't generate offensive chances at a high rate.
