† 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 PIM? Penalty minutes come from minor penalties (2 min), major penalties (5 min), and fighting majors (5 min). Physical players and agitators accumulate PIM most consistently.
PIM factors
- Playing style: Enforcers and agitators take more penalties - Game context: Rivalry games and playoff races increase penalties - Opponent: Playing against physical teams creates more scrums - Role: 4th liners often have higher PIM rates
Strategic value
PIM is highly unpredictable but can be targeted in specific matchups. Physical games between rivals produce the most penalty minutes.
💡
Pro Tip: Rivalry games produce 50%+ more penalty minutes. Target physical players in divisional matchups for PIM upside.
Physical Matchups This Season
Rivalry games and playoff races produce more penalty minutes. Check This Season's schedule for high-intensity matchups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Projected penalty minutes come straight from LineupExperts' projection, a licensed provider; we show their numbers as published and do not adjust them.
Enforcers and agitators like Ryan Reaves, Tom Wilson, and physical defensemen consistently lead in PIM. Fighting majors significantly boost PIM totals.
PIM is high-variance and unpredictable, but in category leagues, targeting physical players in rivalry games can provide an edge. It's best used as a tiebreaker category.
Some stars like Tom Wilson combine elite production with high PIM. Most stars, however, avoid penalties to stay on the ice and contribute offensively.
