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 styleAggressive forechecking winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Othmann is a high-energy, physical forward who dominates on the forecheck and controls the puck well in transition, but struggles to create and finish scoring chances at an elite level. He gets limited offensive touches and hasn't yet developed into a reliable shot creator or shooter.

Where he shoots from

Slot 43% · Mid-range 43% · Perimeter 13%(23 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Forechecking ranks 90th percentile, bringing relentless pressure on opponents
  • Puck management at 91st percentile helps him move the puck cleanly in transition
  • Physicality at 90th percentile adds edge to his on-ice presence

Watch-outs

  • Defensive impact at 1st percentile suggests he's not yet making a net positive impact defensively
  • Shooting volume at 12th percentile shows he's not getting enough looks at net
  • Playmaking at 22nd percentile indicates limited ability to set up teammates

Similar style: Paul Cotter (VAN), Reid Schaefer (NSH)

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.
