Classic scoring · Yetii Pool projections · NHL data
How we calculate
Classic scoring: goal 1, assist 1, win 2, shutout 2. Season projection = points already scored + the rest of the season at the player's projected pace (last season weighted at 0.7 plus this season, pulled toward his position's average when the sample is small), multiplied by his share of his team's remaining games (injuries included). These are the same projections as Yetii Pool's draft kit, which recalculates them with your pool's exact scoring.
Goalie strategy
- Volume first: a goalie who starts 60 games racks up more wins than an excellent goalie in a tandem.
- The team in front of him matters: wins depend a lot on his team's offence.
- Keep an eye on backups: one injury to the starter and the backup becomes the hottest free agent. See our waiver pickups.
Frequently asked questions
When should you draft a goalie in a pool?
Generally after 2 or 3 elite scorers, when number-one goalies on good teams start going. With 2 points per win, don't wait too long.
Is a goalie in a tandem worth it?
Less than a starter: with fewer starts, he has fewer chances to win. He becomes interesting if the starter gets hurt.
