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.

Where he shoots from
Slot 52% · Mid-range 39% · Perimeter 9%(161 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Elite defensive impact at 82nd percentile keeps opponents off the scoreboard
- 80th percentile speed allows him to track backchecker plays and transition quickly
- 52% of shots from the slot show he positions well for high-danger chances
Watch-outs
- Only 4th percentile in rush chances limits his ability to create offensive momentum
- 39th percentile shooting volume means he doesn't get enough pucks to the net
- Playmaking at 50th percentile suggests he won't drive assists on skilled lines

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.
