NHL Projected Shorthanded Goals for Today

Shorthanded goals are rare: about 3% of all goals. These projections estimate each player's share of his projected goals that come while killing a penalty. The ranking is driven mostly by penalty-kill ice time times a mostly league-level scoring rate, so treat it as a guide to who is on the ice shorthanded, not a prediction of who will score.

Edgehalla model: derived from LineupExperts' goals, assists and ice-time projection plus NHL history.

Shorthanded scoring is rare and streaky: even the leaders score only a few a season. These projections are driven mostly by penalty-kill ice time, with each team’s total held to the league’s shorthanded share of its projected goals and assists. How the model works

† 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

Start from total goals. Each player's goals come from Edgehalla's goal model tonight (LineupExperts for longer ranges); assists and ice time from LineupExperts. Our model splits those goals and assists between even strength, the power play and the penalty kill in proportion to the minutes the player has been getting in each situation (recent games weighted most) times his shrunk scoring rate per 60 minutes there.

Heavy shrinkage. One early shorthanded goal says almost nothing about a player's true rate, so shorthanded scoring rates are pulled strongly toward the league average for the position. In our backtest, 25 skaters who scored a shorthanded goal in their first 10 games scored 26 more the rest of the season; the model projected 26.4, while their early pace implied 129.

Team check. Each team's projected shorthanded goals are scaled to the league's shorthanded share of that team's projected goals.

Variance warning

even the leaders project for one or two a season. Single-game values are tiny.

Frequently Asked Questions

Projected goals are split by strength using the player's recent penalty-kill minutes times a heavily shrunk shorthanded scoring rate. Each team's total is then scaled to the league shorthanded share of its projected goals.

Shorthanded goals are rare. Even top penalty killers average one or two a season, so a single game projects for a few hundredths of a goal.

Less reliable than most categories. In our backtest the model beat a naive per-game rate by a wide margin and got the league total right, but player-level results are noisy because the events are so rare.

No. The model has no opponent power-play adjustment; penalty-kill ice time is the main driver.
