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

Moore is a relentless, high-motor defender who generates chances through elite forechecking and rush play rather than careful setup. He excels at generating offense through pure speed and puck pursuit, but struggles to consistently move the puck to open teammates.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
