Expected goals come from our own model and rate every unblocked shot he faced by its chance of going in. High-danger shots are those worth 0.15 expected goals or more. Percentiles compare him with goalies who played 600 minutes that season. xGA/60 shows how hard his workload was, so its bar is grey.

Play styleElite workhorse starter

Trait percentiles vs. NHL goalies · 2025-26

Swayman is a heavy-use starter whose numbers are excellent at 5-on-5, on dangerous shots and in night-to-night consistency. His soft spots are controlling rebounds and stopping shots while his team is shorthanded, both sitting at the low end of the average range.

Goaltending
+3.0

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.
