† 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
Goalie shots against, saves, goals against, SV%, GAA, wins and OTL are an Edgehalla blend: LineupExperts' goalie line averaged 50/50 with Edgehalla's own goalie model.
Why shots against matter
SA determines both save opportunities and goals-against risk. Understanding expected workload helps you choose the right goalies.
SA factors
- Opponent shot volume: Some teams shoot 35+ times per game - Team defense: Bad teams allow more shots - Game script: Underdogs face barrages while protecting leads - Pace: High-scoring games produce more shots both ways
SA benchmarks
- Light workload: 22-26 shots - Average workload: 27-31 shots - Heavy workload: 32+ shots
High-Volume Games Tonight
Identify which goalies will be busy. High shot volume creates save opportunities for those chasing saves.
