2025-26 Fantasy Hockey Point Projections — Defencemen
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.

In a 12-team league the last starter at this position is ranked 48. From there to 96 production falls 10 points — that drop is what taking one early actually buys you.
Who moved
Change in per-game production from 2023-24 to 2024-25, scored the same way both times, quoted over a full season. Players with fewer than 30 games in either season are left out, since that measures availability rather than how they played.
