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.

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.

Where his Game Score comes from
2026-27 · 2 GP
Season total +3.1, or +1.53 per game.
- Goaltending
- +3.1
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.
