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 styleOffensive playmaker

Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26

DeAngelo is a high-volume shooter and exceptional passer who leads the rush with creative chances. His lack of physicality and defensive focus limit him to sheltered minutes and offensive roles.

Where he shoots from

Slot 11% · Mid-range 26% · Perimeter 63%(209 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Elite playmaking at 93rd percentile sets up teammates consistently
  • Prolific shooting volume at 92nd percentile drives offense from the point
  • Strong rush chance creation at 79th percentile speed enables transition play

Watch-outs

  • Minimal physicality at 7th percentile leaves him vulnerable to pressure
  • Weak defensive impact at 26th percentile requires offensive sheltering
  • Low puck management at 12th percentile leads to costly turnovers

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.
