2025-26 Fantasy Hockey Point Projections

Projected 2025-26 points for every NHL skater, plus projected wins and shutouts for every goalie, built from 2024-25 production.

Updated October 3, 2026

How these projections are built

Built from 2024-25 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.
