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 styleOpportunistic goal scorer

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Marchment generates chances from quality shooting positions and completes his opportunities at an average rate, but lacks the overall playmaking depth and two-way consistency to be a primary contributor. His game relies on being put in position by teammates rather than creating plays or driving play defensively.

Where he shoots from

Slot 45% · Mid-range 41% · Perimeter 14%(195 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Shoots from high-value areas, 45% of shots from the slot
  • Playmaking ability edges ahead of typical shot volume at the 59th percentile
  • Pace of expected goals is league-average while on ice at 52.3%

Watch-outs

  • Bottom 15th percentile puck management suggests handling under pressure limits possession time
  • Defensive impact in the 25th percentile means he doesn't contribute much when protecting the goal
  • Speed at 14th percentile constrains his ability to generate rush chances or recover defensively

Game Score adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
