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 styleDefensive stay-at-home defenseman

Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26

Siegenthaler is a low-event player who prioritizes defensive responsibility and positioning over offensive contribution. He moves the puck out cleanly on transition and rarely causes turnovers, but offers little in terms of shot generation or playmaking upside.

Shooting volume: 8
Playmaking: 25

Where he shoots from

Slot 13% · Mid-range 26% · Perimeter 61%(101 unblocked shots)

Strengths

Strong rush chances creation at 74th percentile shows effective transition game
Physicality at 68th percentile brings needed presence along the boards
Solid puck management at 31st shows he limits mistakes on breakouts

Watch-outs

Forechecking at just 6th percentile means minimal pressure deep in opponent zone
Playmaking at 25th percentile indicates limited creative offensive contribution
Shooting volume at 8th percentile reflects minimal offensive threat from the point

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
