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 stylePhysical depth defenseman

Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26

Miller plays a straightforward, heavy style anchored by physicality and shooting volume, though his impact on the scoreboard and defensive metrics suggests limited effectiveness at this stage. He generates chances primarily from the perimeter rather than creating high-danger opportunities.

Strong shooting volume at 86th percentile generates consistent offensive pressure
Good playmaking at 74th percentile adds secondary scoring ability

Defensive impact at 31st percentile suggests play doesn't stop opposing chances

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
