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.

Trenin plays a hard-nosed, defensively engaged game with elite forechecking and physicality that disrupts opponents. He generates opportunities through rush chances and slot positioning but lacks the puck skills and shot volume to consistently finish.

Strengths
- Elite forechecking at 98th percentile disrupts opponent transitions
- Ranks 100th in physicality, dominates with size and strength
- Strong speed at 81st percentile drives rush chances and positioning
Watch-outs
- Weak puck management at 33rd percentile leads to turnovers
- Zone entries lag significantly at 21st percentile, limits offensive chances
- Shot volume and playmaking moderate, doesn't create at elite rates

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.
