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-based defensive winger
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Frank flies up and down the ice with elite speed and excels at shutting down opposing forwards with strong defensive positioning. He limits chances against and competes physically, but doesn't generate many scoring chances on either end and struggles to create opportunities in transition.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
