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 styleHigh-volume entry specialist
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Foote excels at carrying the puck into dangerous areas with elite efficiency and drives play through aggressive forechecking and physicality. He struggles to generate offense himself, lacking both shooting volume and playmaking touch despite his strong possession metrics.

Where he shoots from
Slot 41% · Mid-range 36% · Perimeter 23%(22 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Elite at creating rush chances and carrying puck into zone (99th percentile entries)
- Relentless forechecking and physical play to create turnovers (84-85th percentiles)
- Controls possession and limits shots against while on ice (47% xGF)
Watch-outs
- Little playmaking ability to set up teammates (0th percentile playmaking)
- Relatively immobile and doesn't generate shots from speed (25th percentile speed)
- Minimal goal-scoring output despite offensive opportunities (1 goal in 12 games)

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.
