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 styleSkilled puck manager
Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26
Brodzinski is a savvy center who protects the puck and shoots frequently, but struggles to create chances through the neutral zone or generate offense for linemates. His defensive game is steady while his playmaking lags noticeably behind his shooting ability.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
