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 styleSpeed-first rush wing

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Yurov is a quick, skilled skater who creates chances through pace and transition play, attacking downhill with confidence. He struggles to finish or distribute once he has the puck, limiting his offensive impact despite getting into dangerous areas.

Where he shoots from

Slot 64% · Mid-range 23% · Perimeter 13%(130 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • 73rd percentile speed allows him to beat defenders to loose pucks and open ice
  • 61st percentile defensive impact shows he competes hard off the puck and supports his team
  • 64th percentile rush chances mean he regularly creates dangerous scoring chances through transition

Watch-outs

  • 23rd percentile shooting volume is a concern for someone generating chances in high-danger areas
  • 22nd percentile playmaking suggests he rarely sets up teammates despite playing in offensive situations
  • 33rd percentile forechecking means he doesn't consistently pressure opponents in their end

Similar style: Liam Ohgren (VAN), Joel Farabee (CGY)

Built from play-by-play, shift data, and NHL EDGE tracking. Zone entries is an estimate (rush chances while he is on the ice) until tracking data is added.

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.
