† 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 makes a forward valuable? NHL forwards are the primary offensive producers, responsible for the majority of goals and assists. In fantasy hockey, forwards fill multiple roster spots (C, LW, RW, F, UTIL) making them essential lineup pieces.
Position breakdown
- Centers (C): Best for faceoffs, often PP1 quarterbacks, typically highest assist rates - Left Wings (LW): Often the triggermen on power plays, strong goal-scoring upside - Right Wings (RW): Frequently the "finishers" on lines, good for shots and goals
Key stats to watch
Goals (G), Assists (A), Shots on Goal (SOG), Power Play Points (PPP), Plus/Minus (+/-)
💡
Pro Tip: Stack forwards from the same line for correlated upside. If one scores, the others likely get assists.
