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 styleForechecking puck-mover

Trait percentiles vs. NHL defensemen · 2025-26

Sebrango is a high-energy defender who dominates in the forecheck with elite intensity and physicality, using his playmaking to transition the puck up ice. He shoots from distance and doesn't generate many zone entry chances through the rush, relying instead on his positioning and effort to create offensive opportunities.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
