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 puck mover

Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26

Reilly is an elite shooter from the perimeter who moves the puck cleanly out of the back and on the transition. He plays a calculated game focused on shot volume and possession control rather than aggressive gap management or rush entries.

Where he shoots from

Slot 9% · Mid-range 24% · Perimeter 66%(95 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Elite unblocked shot generation (95th percentile) with heavy perimeter volume
  • Outstanding puck management and transition play (89th percentile)
  • Strong 5v5 possession control at 57.5% expected goals share

Watch-outs

  • Struggles to generate rush chances into the zone (19th percentile)
  • Below-average forechecking activity (17th percentile) limits aggressive pressure

Similar style: Jordan Spence (OTT), Theo Lindstein (STL)

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.
