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 styleOffensive finisher and facilitator

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Marchand generates chances at an elite rate through high-volume shooting and smart passing, but his declining speed and forechecking limit his ability to drive play in transition. He plays a more perimeter-based offensive game while offering minimal defensive contribution at this stage.

Strengths

Elite shooting volume at 92nd percentile drives consistent scoring chances
Strong playmaking at 82nd percentile creates opportunities for teammates
Above-average speed at 71st percentile helps create separation for shots

Watch-outs

Weak rush chances at 17th percentile limits transition opportunities
Minimal forechecking at 29th percentile reduces defensive engagement
Negligible defensive impact at bottom tier limits all-around contribution

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
