2023-24 Fantasy Hockey Point Projections — Defencemen
Projected 2023-24 points for every NHL skater, plus projected wins and shutouts for every goalie, built from 2022-23 production.
Updated October 3, 2026
How these projections are built
Built from 2022-23 NHL regular-season production under the scoring shown below, regressed toward the positional average so a short hot streak does not outrank a full season. No allowance is made for injuries or games missed. Players with fewer than 20 games last season are not ranked.
