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 stylePerimeter passer
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Cowan plays a high-volume perimeter game with decent playmaking instincts, but struggles to manage the puck cleanly and rarely forces his way into dangerous areas. He's a net-neutral player who needs to tighten his decisions with the puck and get more comfortable attacking downhill.

Where he shoots from
Slot 41% · Mid-range 40% · Perimeter 19%(143 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Generates solid playmaking opportunities from the wing despite low shooting volume at 33rd percentile
- Maintains respectable forechecking and defensive balance at 54th and 50th percentiles respectively
- Strong shot location discipline with 41% of attempts from high-value slot areas
Watch-outs
- Puck management ranks 0th percentile, indicating frequent turnovers or poor possession decisions
- Low rush chance generation at 27th percentile shows difficulty beating defenders into the zone
- Modest shooting volume at 33rd percentile means limited direct goal-scoring impact

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.
