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.

Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26
Frost plays a smooth, talent-driven game with excellent puck handling and plus speed that helps him operate effectively at 5v5. He relies more on finesse than physical engagement, so he can disappear in transition and forechecking situations where directness matters.

Strengths
- Puck management in the 73rd percentile keeps plays alive and creates chances efficiently
- Speed at 72nd percentile enables him to stay dangerous in transition and maintain tempo
- Shooting volume at 65th percentile and heavy slot usage shows willingness to get to high-danger areas
Watch-outs
- Forechecking and physicality both in the 33rd percentile suggest he doesn't impose himself on opponents
- Rush chances at 47th percentile indicate inconsistency transitioning the puck into scoring areas

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
