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 styleElite playmaking winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Kane orchestrates the offense with elite passing and intelligent positioning, generating quality chances for teammates despite limited physical engagement. His forechecking has faded significantly with age, and he manages the puck less effectively than most wingers, but his creativity and zone entry ability remain potent offensive assets.

Shooting volume at 79th percentile and strong slot positioning drive offense
Rush chance conversion at 80th percentile shows intelligent offensive spacing

Watch-outs

Forechecking at 8th percentile means minimal pressure on opposing defensemen
Puck management at 15th percentile results in turnovers and missed opportunities
Defensive impact at 33rd percentile limits his value away from the puck

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.
