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 styleElite two-way scorer

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Tkachuk generates offense at an elite level with relentless shooting volume and creative playmaking that put him among the league's most dangerous forwards. He works hard in the forecheck and plays with physicality, though he's not particularly quick and tends to lose the puck more often than his peers.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
