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

💡
Pro Tip: In saves leagues, high SA is good. In GAA leagues, high SA is risky. Know your scoring format before targeting workload.

Frequently Asked Questions

We analyze opponent shot volume tendencies, team defensive metrics, game script projections, and historical matchup data to estimate shots faced tonight.
It depends on your format. More shots = more saves (good) but also more GA risk (bad). Balance based on your league's scoring system.
Goalies on weaker defensive teams facing high-volume shooting opponents face the most shots. Teams like San Jose and Columbus allow lots of shots.
Not directly, but shot quality matters. Facing 35 low-danger shots is easier than facing 25 high-danger chances.
