NHL Projected Penalty Minutes - Rest of Season - Rest of Season

Penalty minutes are an often-overlooked fantasy category. Our PIM projections identify which players are most likely to spend time in the box this season. Physical players, enforcers, and agitators in heated matchups offer the best PIM upside.

Season Outlook: Apr 16 through Apr 17, 2026

6 games • 477 players

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.
💡

Frequently Asked Questions

We analyze historical PIM rates, opponent physicality, game context (rivalry, intensity), player reputation, and referee assignment tendencies to project PIM for this season.
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.
