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.

Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26

Seguin is a pass-first facilitator who sets up teammates with elite vision from the middle of the ice. He's lost some of his physical edge and forechecking intensity but still generates respectable shot opportunities when he has the puck.

Where he shoots from

Slot 61% · Mid-range 29% · Perimeter 11%(56 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Elite playmaking at 83rd percentile sets up constant chances
  • Slot-heavy shot locations at 61% near prime scoring areas
  • Solid puck possession with xG share holding at 45.8%

Watch-outs

  • Physicality at 14th percentile shows limited net-front presence
  • Forechecking at 29th percentile means limited backcheck support
  • Shooting volume at 26th percentile indicates he defers heavily to others

Similar style: Matt Duchene (DAL), Casey Mittelstadt (BOS)

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.
