How SHA happen

Shorthanded assists come from setting up goals while killing penalties. They typically occur on breakaways or 2-on-1 rushes created by turnovers.

SHA factors

- PK partner: Who you kill penalties with matters - Speed: Fast players create breakaway passes - Vision: Elite passers find teammates on the rush - Opponent PP: Sloppy power plays create more opportunities

SHA rarity

Like SHG, shorthanded assists are rare bonus production. They're unpredictable but valuable when they happen.

💡

Pro Tip: Target PK duos who play together. If one gets a SHG, the other likely gets the SHA.
