NHL Projected Shorthanded Goals This Week This Week

Shorthanded goals are rare but valuable fantasy events. Our SHG projections identify aggressive penalty killers on teams facing opponents with sloppy power plays. Speed demons and two-way forwards who pressure the puck offer the best shorthanded scoring upside (Apr 13-Apr 19 (Week 28)). (Apr 13-Apr 19 (Week 28))

What makes SHG happen? Shorthanded goals occur when a team down a man scores against the opponent's power play. They're rare (about 2% of goals) but provide bonus fantasy value.

SHG factors

- PK role: Players must be on the penalty kill unit - Speed: Fast skaters create breakaways on turnovers - Aggression: Forechecking PKs create more SHG chances - Opponent PP: Sloppy power plays turn the puck over more

SHG specialists

Two-way centers and speedy wingers who kill penalties are the primary SHG threats.

💡
Pro Tip: SHG are unpredictable, but teams facing turnover-prone power plays offer the best opportunities. Check PP efficiency stats.

Frequently Asked Questions

We analyze PK deployment, historical SHG rates, player speed and aggression, opponent PP turnover tendencies, and team PK aggressiveness to project SHG potential this week.
Two-way specialists and speedy penalty killers lead in SHG. Players like Brad Marchand, Brandon Hagel, and aggressive two-way centers excel at shorthanded scoring.
SHG are too rare to specifically target, but players who accumulate them provide bonus value. It's a tiebreaker rather than a category to chase.
League-wide, SHG average about 0.02 per player per game. Even elite PK scorers only notch 5-8 SHG per season. They're bonus production, not reliable.
