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 styleDepth winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Holtz plays a steady, physical forechecking game with decent defensive positioning but struggles to create plays or move the puck cleanly. He generates chances from the slot fairly well but lacks the speed and rushing ability to consistently set up scoring opportunities.

Where he shoots from

Slot 51% · Mid-range 30% · Perimeter 19%(53 unblocked shots)

Strengths

Physicality in 59th percentile brings energy to forechecking and board play
Slot positioning delivers 51% of shots from high-danger areas
Forechecking at 53rd percentile creates consistent pressure and turnovers

Watch-outs

Puck management at 3rd percentile shows frequent turnovers and possession issues
Playmaking at 28th percentile limits his ability to create for teammates
Speed at 30th percentile restricts rush chances and transition play

Where his Game Score comes from

2025-26 · 28 GP

Season total +8.4, or +0.30 per game.

Scoring: +6.4
Shooting: +2.3
5-on-5 goals: -0.1
Defense: +0.3
Physical play: +1.1
Puck battles: -0.9
Penalties: -0.6
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.
