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-minded forechecking center

Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26

Philp plays a gritty, physical game focused on winning puck battles and preventing scoring chances. He excels at generating pressure through forechecking and maintaining possession with smart puck handling, but generates little at the offensive end and rarely creates scoring opportunities for teammates.

Exceptional puck management at 93rd percentile minimizes turnovers
Strong defensive impact at 75th percentile disrupts opponent plays

Watch-outs

Playmaking at 0th percentile limits chance creation for linemates
Shooting volume at 6th percentile means minimal personal offensive threat
Average speed at 50th percentile constrains his transition game

Where his Game Score comes from

2025-26 · 17 GP

Season total +3.1, or +0.18 per game.

Scoring: +2.5
Shooting: +1.1
5-on-5 goals: -1.1
Defense: +0.1
Penalty kill: -0.3
Physical play: +0.7
Puck battles: -0.1
Faceoffs: +0.1

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.
