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 styleSpeed-based depth winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Berggren plays a straight-ahead game powered by above-average speed, but doesn't generate much volume with his limited shot attempts or puck skills. He's a willing defensive contributor who won't shift the possession needle but provides steady depth minutes.

Where he shoots from

Slot 40% · Mid-range 45% · Perimeter 15%(91 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Top-quartile speed at 71st percentile creates driving chances
  • Solid defensive impact at 55th percentile brings reliability
  • Playmaking and zone entries both at 52nd percentile show balance

Watch-outs

  • Shooting volume in 17th percentile limits goal-scoring ceiling
  • Puck management at 17th percentile means low-skill approach to possession
  • Physicality at 34th percentile makes him lighter on puck battles

Similar style: Easton Cowan (TOR), Andrew Mangiapane (CHI)

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.

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.
