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 styleDefensive playmaker
Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26
Harris is an elite defender who locks down his end and moves the puck forward with precision. He generates offense through skilled rush play and shooting but lacks the physical edge and pure speed some top defensemen possess.

Where he shoots from
Slot 6% · Mid-range 35% · Perimeter 59%(17 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Defensive impact in the 97th percentile, anchoring solid 5v5 possession metrics
- Playmaking in the 74th percentile with strong rush chance creation at 83rd percentile
- Shooting volume at 87th percentile despite taking perimeter-heavy attempts
Watch-outs
- Speed at 31st percentile limits his gap-closing ability and transition game
- Physicality at 14th percentile means he avoids contact-heavy play
- Puck management at 46th percentile shows occasional handling inconsistencies under pressure
Similar style: Drew Doughty (LAK), Hampus Lindholm (BOS)
Built from play-by-play, shift data, and NHL EDGE tracking. Zone entries is an estimate (rush chances while he is on the ice) until tracking data is added.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
