NHL Projected Shots on Goal This Week This Week

Shots on goal are a crucial fantasy category and a strong indicator of offensive involvement. Our SOG projections identify which players are expected to pepper the opposing goalie this week. High-volume shooters provide both floor (SOG category) and ceiling (goal potential) (Feb 23-Mar 1 (Week 21)). (Feb 23-Mar 1 (Week 21))

Fantasy Week 21: Feb 23 - Mar 1(Mon-Sun)

Why shots matter

Shots on goal indicate offensive involvement and goal-scoring potential. In fantasy, SOG is often an overlooked category that can swing close matchups.

Shot volume factors

- Role: Top-line players and PP1 get more shooting opportunities - Style: Some players shoot more frequently regardless of situation - Matchup: Teams facing weak goalies take more shots - Game script: Trailing teams increase shot attempts

League averages

Elite shooters average 3-4 SOG per game. Volume shooters like Alex Ovechkin and Auston Matthews can hit 5+ regularly.

💡
Pro Tip: Defensemen often provide sneaky SOG value—PP quarterbacks like Makar and Fox take lots of shots from the point.
