† Edgehalla model: derived from LineupExperts' goals, assists and ice-time projection plus NHL history. +/-, shorthanded goals, assists and points are high-variance: the projections are small expected values ranked mostly by ice-time role, and actual totals swing a lot. How the model works
What drives goal scoring? Goals are the most valuable fantasy stat but also the most volatile. Our projections analyze multiple factors to identify Next Week's best scoring opportunities.
Key factors
- Line placement: Top-6 forwards get more offensive zone time - Power play role: PP1 triggers score most goals - Opponent goalie: Backup goalies allow more goals on average - Shot volume: More shots = more goal opportunities - Shooting percentage: Hot shooters often stay hot short-term
League averages
The average NHL goal scorer has a 10-12% shooting percentage. Elite finishers exceed 15%.
💡
Pro Tip: Target players facing backup goalies with sub-.900 save percentages this season—goal projections spike in these matchups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anytime goal % is the chance a player scores at least one goal next week. It comes from his projected goals (xG) for the game: P(1+ goals) = 1 − e^(−xG), the standard Poisson estimate. A player projected for 0.50 goals has about a 39% chance to score; 0.70 projected goals is about 50%.
Next Week's projected goals come from Edgehalla's goal model: each skater's goals per 60 minutes (this season counted double, plus last season, pulled toward his position's average) times his average ice time over his last 5 games. Out of sample it beat LineupExperts' goal projection and matched the sportsbooks' anytime prices. Weekly and longer ranges use LineupExperts' projection, a licensed provider. Our model then splits the goals into power-play, shorthanded and game-winning goals.
Elite goal scorers like Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl, Alex Ovechkin, and David Pastrnak consistently lead projections. However, matchup-dependent streamers often offer better value on any given night.
Our NHL goal projections update hourly throughout the day, with final adjustments made when starting lineups and goaltenders are confirmed approximately 30 minutes before puck drop.
Goals are high-variance but high-reward. In category leagues, streaming goal scorers against weak goaltending can swing close matchups. In points leagues, consistent goal scorers provide elite value.
