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 styleAggressive two-way defender

Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26

St. Ivany is an elite attacking defenseman who dominates with his relentless forechecking and exceptional ability to create offensive opportunities through his speed and tenacity on the forecheck. However, he struggles to handle the puck cleanly, which can cost him possession in transition situations.

Strengths

Leads all defensemen in rush chance creation and forechecking intensity at 99th and 97th percentiles
Elite playmaking touch at 83rd percentile to set up scoring chances
Physical presence at 96th percentile brings hard-nosed intensity to every shift

Watch-outs

Turnover-prone with puck management at just 9th percentile, surrendering possession
Slower-footed at 16th percentile, limiting his ability to recover on broken plays
Conservative shooter at 46th percentile, rarely creating volume from the blue line

Similar style: Cale Fleury (SEA), Parker Wotherspoon (VGK)

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
