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 styleGrinding defensive winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Nosek is a relentless forechecking and physical presence who punishes opponents in tight areas, but he generates almost no shot volume or playmaking and struggles to impact defense at the position level. His limited skill contributions are offset by constant pressure and willingness to engage physically.

Where he shoots from

Slot 42% · Mid-range 46% · Perimeter 13%(24 unblocked shots)

Strengths

Elite forechecking (84th percentile) makes him a tireless north-south player
High physicality (81st percentile) lets him dominate board play and battles
42% slot shot rate shows willingness to hunt scoring chances near goal

Watch-outs

Almost no shot volume (0th percentile) limits offensive ceiling significantly
Weak defensive impact (6th percentile) suggests gaps in coverage or positioning
Minimal rush chance generation (49th percentile) keeps him out of transition game

Where his Game Score comes from

2025-26 · 21 GP · goals above average

Season total -3.3 goals, or -0.16 per game.

Even strength offense: -0.5
Even strength defense: -0.5
Penalty kill: -0.1
Finishing: -0.2
Playmaking: -1.7
Faceoffs: -0.2

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.
