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 styleDepth defensive winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Killorn is a low-volume contributor whose main value comes from solid defensive positioning and reliability in the standings. His playmaking and physicality have faded with age, making him a complementary piece rather than a production driver.

Where he shoots from

Slot 51% · Mid-range 34% · Perimeter 15%(214 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Defensive impact in 57th percentile keeps play stable when on ice
  • Slot-heavy shooting approach converts chances from high-danger areas
  • Balanced puck management limits turnovers relative to touches

Watch-outs

  • Playmaking at 25th percentile shows limited setup ability for linemates
  • Physicality in 31st percentile marks reduced net-front presence versus position
  • Shooting volume in 39th percentile reflects diminished offensive involvement

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 adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
