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

Fleury is a heavyweight on the blue line who uses his elite size and strength to impose his will physically, but he doesn't create offense and struggles to move the puck or affect defensive metrics. He logs limited ice time and mostly stays on the perimeter when shooting.

Where he shoots from

Slot 18% · Mid-range 20% · Perimeter 61%(44 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Physicality at 94th percentile makes him a force in board battles
  • Speed at 92nd percentile keeps him mobile despite his size
  • Puck management at 51st shows he handles the puck capably in transition

Watch-outs

  • Playmaking at 0th percentile means he rarely initiates offense
  • Defensive impact at 6th percentile suggests limited effect on goals against
  • Zone entry creation at 8th percentile shows he struggles generating scoring chances

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.

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.
