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 stylePossession-oriented defenseman

Strengths

Elite puck management (86th percentile) keeps possession secure and limits turnovers
Solid speed and physicality balance allow him to control the game's tempo

Watch-outs

Very low shooting volume (27th percentile) means minimal scoring threat from the blue line
Weak playmaking (24th percentile) limits his ability to create offensive opportunities for teammates
