† 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 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.

High-Volume Shooters This Week

Need SOG production? Target players who consistently fire 3+ shots per game regardless of matchup. They provide reliable category floor.

D-Men with Shot Volume

Frequently Asked Questions

Projected shots on goal come straight from LineupExperts' projection, a licensed provider; we show their numbers as published and do not adjust them.

Alex Ovechkin, Auston Matthews, and elite D-men like Cale Makar consistently lead in shots. Volume shooters provide reliable floor for fantasy SOG categories.

Very important. DraftKings awards 1.6 points per shot on goal, making high-volume shooters valuable even without scoring. SOG provide floor that reduces bust risk.

Generally yes—more shots create more goal opportunities. However, shot quality matters too. Players with high shooting percentages convert shots to goals more efficiently.
