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-speed playmaking defenseman
Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26
Broberg is an elite skater who pushes tempo and creates offense through transition play and passing rather than shooting volume. He's most effective when moving the puck quickly up ice and generating rush chances, though he takes a more finesse-oriented approach on both ends.

Where he shoots from
Slot 14% · Mid-range 41% · Perimeter 45%(159 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Elite skating ability (98th percentile) sets the pace of play and fuels transition opportunities
- Strong playmaking (70th percentile) generates offense through passing and setup plays from the blue line
- Solid overall impact (51.7% xGF share) shows balanced contribution despite modest shooting volume
Watch-outs
- Very low physicality (6th percentile) means he avoids heavy contact and may struggle in tight spaces
- Subpar forechecking (17th percentile) limits his ability to generate turnovers in the offensive zone
- Below-average shot volume (37th percentile) means he relies on others to finish offensive plays he initiates
Similar style: Brady Skjei (NSH), Spencer Stastney (EDM)
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 adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
