"Slaggert also ranks fifth at 5-on-5 in individual expected goals per 60 (0.74), behind Bertuzzi, Greene, Connor Bedard and Dach. And he's one of only four Blackhawks to average over four individual high danger chances per 60 (with Bertuzzi, Dach and Greene) at 5-on-5. And he ranks fourth on the Blackhawks in blocked shots per 60 minutes (2.64) behind Nick Foligno, Jason Dickinson and Dach (all situations)."
"I'm (hopefully obviously) not comparing their roles, but Slaggert's even strength on-ice goals for percentage is better than Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner, Zach Hyman, Macklin Celebrini and Matt Boldy, among others. I know it will receive another round of eye rolling from the comments section, but I've had a number of folks inside and outside the organization compare Slaggert's style of play to Brandon Hagel in recent years."
Landon Slaggert has generated unexpectedly strong offensive and defensive rates for the Blackhawks this season. He ranks among the team leaders in individual scoring chances per 60 and sits fifth in individual expected goals per 60 (0.74). Slaggert is one of four Blackhawks averaging over four individual high-danger chances per 60 and ranks fourth in blocked shots per 60 (2.64).
