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 stylePuck-moving defenseman
Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26
Power excels at controlling the puck and moving it out of the zone with elite efficiency, but struggles to generate offense through playmaking or aggressive forechecking. He plays a steady, low-impact defensive game while relying on his speed and possession management to lead transition play.

Where he shoots from
Slot 14% · Mid-range 32% · Perimeter 54%(170 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Puck management in the 70th percentile keeps possession flowing
- Speed in the 66th percentile helps him transition the puck quickly
- Shooting volume at 59th percentile shows willingness to generate chances
Watch-outs
- Forechecking at the 15th percentile limits his offensive impact
- Playmaking at 27th percentile means fewer assists despite high ice time
- Physicality at just the 6th percentile rarely influences play along the boards

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.
