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 styleForechecking grinder

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Reinhardt is a high-energy forward who wins puck battles and creates havoc through physicality and speed. He limits offensive output by rarely shooting and passing up playmaking opportunities, keeping him a depth contributor.

Where he shoots from

Slot 46% · Mid-range 38% · Perimeter 15%(78 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Forechecking prowess at 87th percentile drives relentless puck pursuit
  • Physicality and speed both elite, 83rd and 87th percentiles respectively
  • Solid defensive presence at 62nd percentile

Watch-outs

  • Shooting volume ranks only 13th, rarely getting pucks on net
  • Playmaking at 28th percentile limits his ability to create chances
  • Puck management at 39th percentile occasionally results in turnovers

Similar style: Alexey Toropchenko (STL), Josh Anderson (MTL)

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.
