2026-27 Fantasy Hockey Point Projections — Goalies

Projected 2026-27 points for every NHL skater, plus projected wins and shutouts for every goalie, built from 2025-26 production.

Updated October 3, 2026

How these projections are built

Built from 2025-26 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.

Goalies

Quoted over 64 games — what the busiest goalie actually played in 2025-26.

Projected wins and shutouts are regressed the same way the points are; save percentage is last season's, not a projection.

In a 12-team league the last starter at this position is ranked 12. From there to 24 production falls 10 points — that drop is what taking one early actually buys you.

Who moved

Change in per-game production from 2024-25 to 2025-26, 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.
