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.

Where he shoots from

Slot 31% · Mid-range 46% · Perimeter 22%(178 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Elite playmaking at 88th percentile fits his 20 assists in 52 games
  • Excellent shooting volume at 80th percentile with 178 unblocked shots
  • Smart shot selection with 31% from dangerous slot areas

Watch-outs

  • Poor puck management at 8th percentile limits his ability to create opportunities
  • Below-average speed at 18th percentile reduces his rush chances to 49th percentile
  • Weak forechecking at 36th percentile limits his defensive contributions

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.
