What drives blocked shots? Blocks occur when a player positions themselves to stop an opponent's shot. Defensemen block the most, but physical forwards contribute too.
Block volume factors
- Position: Defensemen average 2-3x more blocks than forwards - PK role: Penalty killers face more shots to block - Opponent: Facing high-shot-volume teams = more block opportunities - Game script: Underdogs protecting leads block more shots
Fantasy value
Blocks are a category most managers overlook. Streaming shutdown D-men can dominate this category weekly.
💡
Pro Tip: Target D-men on underdog teams facing offensive powerhouses. They'll see tons of shots to block, even in losing efforts.
