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 initiator

Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26

Jenner is a high-volume playmaker and rush threat who drives chances through aggressive forechecking and zone pressure. His game relies on offensive skill and intensity, but his defensive positioning and puck handling occasionally undermine his impact.

Where he shoots from

Slot 50% · Mid-range 29% · Perimeter 22%(214 unblocked shots)

Strengths

Exceptional playmaking at the 84th percentile creates scoring chances for linemates
Excellent shot volume and rush chance generation both at 85th percentile
Strong forechecking and physicality at 77th and 80th percentiles respectively

Watch-outs

Defensive impact at just 19th percentile limits his defensive value
Below-average puck management at 32nd percentile leads to turnovers
Speed at 43rd percentile constrains his ability to separate from opponents

Similar style: Mason McTavish (STL), Morgan Geekie (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.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
