What makes a forward valuable? NHL forwards are the primary offensive producers, responsible for the majority of goals and assists. In fantasy hockey, forwards fill multiple roster spots (C, LW, RW, F, UTIL) making them essential lineup pieces.
Position breakdown
- Centers (C): Best for faceoffs, often PP1 quarterbacks, typically highest assist rates - Left Wings (LW): Often the triggermen on power plays, strong goal-scoring upside - Right Wings (RW): Frequently the "finishers" on lines, good for shots and goals
Key stats to watch
Goals (G), Assists (A), Shots on Goal (SOG), Power Play Points (PPP), Plus/Minus (+/-)
💡
Pro Tip: Stack forwards from the same line for correlated upside. If one scores, the others likely get assists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our forward projections combine historical scoring rates, line placement data, power play usage, opponent defensive rankings, and goaltender quality to estimate each forward's expected production next week.
Centers typically offer better category coverage with faceoff wins, while elite wingers often have higher goal-scoring ceilings. The best approach is balancing both based on your league's scoring settings.
Our NHL forward projections update hourly throughout the day, with final adjustments when starting lineups and line combinations are confirmed before puck drop.
Look for forwards with high projections who are under 50% rostered in your league. Players on top lines facing weak goaltenders or backup netminders offer the best streaming value.
