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.

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.
