NHL Projected Shorthanded Points Next Week

Shorthanded points count in some Yahoo and ESPN leagues and earn bonuses on DraftKings and FanDuel. This page ranks players by projected shorthanded goals plus shorthanded assists. Both are small, high-variance numbers driven mainly by penalty-kill ice time (Oct 5-11 (Week 2)). (Oct 5-11 (Week 2))

SHP = projected SHG + projected SHA. LineupExperts projects each player's goals, assists and ice time. Our model splits those goals and assists between even strength, the power play and the penalty kill in proportion to the minutes the player has been getting in each situation (recent games weighted most) times his shrunk scoring rate per 60 minutes there.

Shrunk hard toward league averages. Shorthanded scoring rates barely repeat year to year, so penalty-kill minutes matter far more than a player's past shorthanded points.

Team check. Each team's shorthanded goals and assists are scaled to the league's shorthanded share of its projected goals and assists.

Variance warning

leaders project for a few shorthanded points per season. In our backtest the league total was right within a few percent, but the top deciles missed our ±10% calibration bar in 2025-26.

💡
Pro Tip: Treat SHP as a tiebreaker between similar players, favouring the one with steady penalty-kill minutes.

Edgehalla model: derived from LineupExperts' goals, assists and ice-time projection plus NHL history.

Shorthanded scoring is rare and streaky: even the leaders score only a few a season. These projections are driven mostly by penalty-kill ice time, with each team’s total held to the league’s shorthanded share of its projected goals and assists. How the model works

† 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

Shorthanded goals

The goal side of shorthanded scoring.

Shorthanded Goals

Shorthanded assists

The assist side, even rarer and noisier.

Shorthanded Assists

Power-play points

The other special-teams category, and a much more predictable one.

Frequently Asked Questions

We add projected shorthanded goals and shorthanded assists, each split from LineupExperts' goal and assist projection by recent penalty-kill minutes and heavily shrunk rates, then scaled per team to the league shorthanded share.
If he does not kill penalties, almost none of his projected points come shorthanded. Penalty-kill time is the main driver.
Use them as a deployment guide. Shorthanded points are rare enough that actual results swing widely around any projection.
Yes. Both pay a shorthanded-point bonus (+2 per shorthanded goal or assist), and our DK and FD projections use these expected shorthanded points.
