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 defensive forward
Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26
Weegar is an aggressive, physical defender who crashes into forechecking situations and generates shooting chances from his high-volume shot activity. However, his defensive impact numbers lag well behind his colleagues, suggesting his physicality and forechecking effort don't consistently translate to stopping goals.
