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 playmaker
Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26
Trocheck is a high-speed, high-effort forward who excels at setting up chances and winning puck battles, but struggles to prevent scoring chances against. He plays heavy minutes on pure skill and motor rather than efficiency.

Where he shoots from
Slot 54% · Mid-range 37% · Perimeter 9%(202 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Elite speed and skating ability put him in the 80th percentile among centers
- Exceptional playmaking at 77th percentile creates multiple opportunities for linemates
- Physical presence and forechecking intensity both rank in the 76th-77th percentile range
Watch-outs
- Defensive impact is critically low at 8th percentile, a major concern at center
- Rush chance creation ranks just 34th, limiting high-quality scoring chances
- Shot selection efficiency weak at 28th percentile in puck management
Similar style: Dominic James (TBL), Peyton Krebs (BUF)
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.
