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 styleOffensive defenseman
Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26
Stanley generates chances aggressively from the perimeter with strong shooting volume and excellent rush pace, but his defensive positioning lags well behind his peers. He moves the puck and manages play at middling rates while leaning heavily on long-range shots rather than high-danger looks.

Where he shoots from
Slot 7% · Mid-range 24% · Perimeter 69%(170 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Exceptional shooting volume (88th percentile) with 170 unblocked shots driving offense
- Elite rush chance generation (83rd percentile) creates transitions from the blue line
- Physical presence (73rd percentile) adds edge to his defensive efforts
Watch-outs
- Defensive impact significantly trails peers (14th percentile), a clear weakness
- Notably below-average speed (20th percentile) limits gap control and recovery
Similar style: Joel Edmundson (LAK), Neal Pionk (WPG)
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.
