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 rush winger
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Coleman overwhelms opponents with aggressive forechecking and elite defensive positioning, turning pressure into possession and chance suppression. He generates scoring chances through fearless rush attacks but contributes less as a playmaker once the puck moves into the offensive zone.

Strengths
- Exceptional zone entry ability via rush chances ranks 93rd percentile among wingers
- Elite defensive impact and puck recovery places him 91st percentile in his group
- Above-average shooting volume at 77th percentile with high-danger attempts from the slot
Watch-outs
- Playmaking lags at 35th percentile, limiting setup opportunities for linemates
- Speed ranks just 59th percentile, relying more on positioning than pure pace

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
