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 energy winger
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Slaggert is a tireless defensive presence with elite puck management and strong physicality, but his game is hindered by minimal offensive contributions and limited ability to create scoring chances. He survives in a depth role by winning battles and preventing goals, not by generating them.

Where he shoots from
Slot 61% · Mid-range 27% · Perimeter 11%(70 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- 91st percentile defensive impact, a net-positive force on team defense
- 93rd percentile puck management, rarely turns it over in his possession
- 76th percentile physicality and 72nd forechecking intensity, drives hard on forecheck
Watch-outs
- 14th percentile shooting volume means he rarely gets offense started
- 6th percentile rush chances, struggles to transition offense into the zone cleanly
- 9th percentile playmaking, limited ability to set up teammates for goals
Similar style: Joel Kiviranta (DAL), Mathieu Joseph (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.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
