What drives goal scoring? Goals are the most valuable fantasy stat but also the most volatile. Our projections analyze multiple factors to identify This Week's best scoring opportunities.
Key factors
- Line placement: Top-6 forwards get more offensive zone time - Power play role: PP1 triggers score most goals - Opponent goalie: Backup goalies allow more goals on average - Shot volume: More shots = more goal opportunities - Shooting percentage: Hot shooters often stay hot short-term
League averages
The average NHL goal scorer has a 10-12% shooting percentage. Elite finishers exceed 15%.
💡
Pro Tip: Target players facing backup goalies with sub-.900 save percentages this season—goal projections spike in these matchups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our goal projections combine historical scoring rates, opponent goaltender stats, power play time, line placement, shot volume trends, and game-time factors to predict each player's likelihood of scoring this week.
Elite goal scorers like Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl, Alex Ovechkin, and David Pastrnak consistently lead projections. However, matchup-dependent streamers often offer better value on any given night.
Our NHL goal projections update hourly throughout the day, with final adjustments made when starting lineups and goaltenders are confirmed approximately 30 minutes before puck drop.
Goals are high-variance but high-reward. In category leagues, streaming goal scorers against weak goaltending can swing close matchups. In points leagues, consistent goal scorers provide elite value.
