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 styleSpeedy two-way winger
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Toropchenko plays a physical, high-speed game built on relentless forechecking and defensive work, but rarely shoots and generates few scoring chances. He's a limited contributor offensively but brings valuable energy and net-front presence on limited ice time.
