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 styleOffensive playmaker
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Quinn generates scoring chances at an elite rate through high-volume shooting and creative passing, but struggles to maintain possession and make a defensive impact. He thrives in transition with explosive speed yet rarely forces play through the forecheck or physical engagement.

Where he shoots from

Strengths
- Elite shot volume at 90th percentile drives offensive production
- 84th percentile playmaking creates consistent scoring opportunities for teammates
- 89th percentile speed fuels transition and rush chance generation
Watch-outs
- Only 3rd percentile defensive impact limits his all-around value
- 21st percentile rush chances suggest difficulty entering the zone cleanly
- 13th percentile forechecking means minimal puck recovery through physical pressure

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.
