NHL Projected Power Play Goals Next Week Next Week

Power play goals are high-value fantasy events. Our PPG projections highlight players on top power play units facing penalty-prone opponents next week. PP1 triggers—the players who touch the puck most on the man advantage—offer the best power play goal upside (Mar 2-Mar 8 (Week 22)). (Mar 2-Mar 8 (Week 22))

Why PPG matters

Approximately 25-30% of all NHL goals come on the power play. Players on PP1 units have significantly higher goal-scoring rates when their team has the man advantage.

PPG factors

- PP1 role: First unit players get 70%+ of PP time - Opponent PK: Weak penalty kills allow more PP goals - Opponent penalties: Undisciplined teams create more PP opportunities - Shooting position: One-timer spots and bumper positions score most PPG

PP1 archetypes

- One-timer threats: Positioned in the circle for one-timers (Ovechkin spot) - Bumper players: Slot presence for tips and rebounds - Quarterbacks: Usually D-men, but can score from the point

💡
Pro Tip: Cross-reference with line combinations to confirm PP1 status. Players can move between PP1 and PP2—only PP1 triggers are worth targeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

We analyze PP1 unit placement, historical PPG rates, opponent PK strength, opponent penalty tendencies, and shooting position to project power play goal leaders next week.
Elite finishers in PP1 one-timer positions lead in PPG—players like Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos, and Auston Matthews who occupy the "Ovechkin spot" in the circle.
Check our Line Combinations page for current power play unit deployments. PP1 status can change game-to-game based on coach decisions and matchups.
PPG provides high-ceiling upside in DFS. Stacking PP1 units from teams facing weak PKs and undisciplined opponents creates correlated scoring potential.
