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.

Trait percentiles vs. NHL centers · 2025-26
Halliday is an exceptional passer and rush player who controls play through creativity and tempo, but he struggles badly with puck decisions and turnovers that undercut his team's efficiency. His high shooting volume and slot-focused shot diet pair with elite playmaking to create chances, yet careless handling limits his overall impact.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
