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 styleShoot-first scorer

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Hartman fires consistently from high-danger areas and maintains solid even-strength play, but his forechecking and defensive work lag behind most wingers at his position. He's a volume shooter who controls play through aggression in offensive chances rather than defensive responsibility.

53.7% expected goals share shows strong even-strength control
48% of shots from the slot puts him in prime scoring spots

Watch-outs

32nd percentile forechecking indicates limited disruption of opposing entries
31st percentile defensive impact suggests weaker two-way contribution
35th percentile speed limits his ability to generate rush chances

2025-26 · 76 GP · goals above average

Power play: -0.4
Penalty kill: +0.1
Finishing: +1.7
Playmaking: -0.4

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.
