† 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
Why shots against matter
SA determines both save opportunities and goals-against risk. Understanding expected workload helps you choose the right goalies.
SA factors
- Opponent shot volume: Some teams shoot 35+ times per game - Team defense: Bad teams allow more shots - Game script: Underdogs face barrages while protecting leads - Pace: High-scoring games produce more shots both ways
SA benchmarks
- Light workload: 22-26 shots - Average workload: 27-31 shots - Heavy workload: 32+ shots
💡
Pro Tip: In saves leagues, high SA is good. In GAA leagues, high SA is risky. Know your scoring format before targeting workload.
High-Volume Games This Season
Identify which goalies will be busy. High shot volume creates save opportunities for those chasing saves.
Saves ProjectionsLow-Volume Safe Starts
Goalies facing low shot volume have better SV% and lower GA risk. Target these for efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Projected shots against come straight from LineupExperts' projection, a licensed provider; we show their numbers as published and do not adjust them.
It depends on your format. More shots = more saves (good) but also more GA risk (bad). Balance based on your league's scoring system.
Goalies on weaker defensive teams facing high-volume shooting opponents face the most shots. Teams like San Jose and Columbus allow lots of shots.
Not directly, but shot quality matters. Facing 35 low-danger shots is easier than facing 25 high-danger chances.
