How we calculate team 90+ mph shots/GP
NHL EDGE measures every shot's speed; we divide the team's count of 90+ mph shots by games played.
Why it matters for fantasy hockey
Hard shots from the point drive deflections and rebounds on the power play. Teams with big shots tend to have defencemen who pile up shots on goal.
How to read it
Higher means more heavy shooters, usually defencemen with big point shots.
Limitations
Speed is not accuracy; one-timers from the slot rarely top 90 mph and score far more.

On each team's pages, 90+ mph shots/GP also appears in the NHL Edge ranks section, linked from its row in Team analytics.
