NHL Projected Shifts - Rest of Season

A handful of leagues count shifts. Our projection multiplies each player's shifts per 60 minutes by LineupExperts' projected ice time. Shift rate is one of the most stable usage stats (about 0.85 year to year), so the ranking mostly follows ice time and how short a player's shifts are. Shift data starts in 2025-26 and has gaps, noted below.

Rate

shifts per 60 minutes of ice time, recent games weighted most and shrunk very lightly (about 10 minutes of weight) toward the position average: the player's own rate settles fast.

Projected shifts = rate × projected ice time ÷ 60.

Data coverage

Shift counts start in 2025-26 and are incomplete: 65 regular-season games of 2025-26 and all of its playoff games have no shift data, so totals for those games are missing.

Track record

in our 2025-26 backtest the projection beat a naive per-game rate at every cutoff, with the top three deciles within 2% of actual totals.

💡
Pro Tip: Defensemen take longer shifts than forwards, so at equal ice time a forward projects more shifts.
💡

Forward-looking projections only

ROS stats represent expected future production—they don't include any stats already accumulated this season.

† 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

Ice time

Shifts follow ice time. Projected minutes are the main driver.

Time on Ice Projections

Line deployment

Moving up the lineup adds ice time and shifts immediately.

Line Combinations

Frequently Asked Questions

Each player's shifts per 60 minutes (recent games weighted most, lightly shrunk toward the position average) times LineupExperts' projected ice time.
Shift counts start in 2025-26 and are incomplete: 65 regular-season games of 2025-26 and all of its playoff games have no shift data, so totals for those games are missing.
Forwards change more often and take shorter shifts, so they get more shifts per minute played.
