NHL Projected Ice Time Next Week Next Week

Ice time is opportunity. Players who log heavy minutes have more chances to accumulate stats across all categories. Our TOI projections show you which players are expected to be on the ice the most next week—crucial information for identifying high-floor fantasy plays (Mar 2-Mar 8 (Week 22)). (Mar 2-Mar 8 (Week 22))

Week 22: Mar 2 - Mar 8(Upcoming)

Why ice time matters

More minutes = more opportunities for all stats. Players who log 20+ minutes per game have significantly more chances to score, hit, block, and contribute across fantasy categories.

Average ice time by position

- Elite forwards: 18-22 minutes per game - Top defensemen: 22-26 minutes per game - Goalies: 55-60 minutes (full game) - 4th line/3rd pair: 8-12 minutes per game

TOI boosters

- Overtime games (everyone gets extra minutes) - Injuries to linemates (expanded role) - Coach's trust in high-leverage situations

💡
Pro Tip: Defensemen average more TOI than forwards. If you need category volume, D-men with 24+ minute projections offer the best opportunity.

Minutes Eaters Next week

Looking for workhorses? Sort by projected TOI to find players who will have the most ice time and thus the most stat opportunities.

All Projections

D-Men Minutes Leaders

Defensemen log the most minutes in hockey. Target high-TOI blueliners for peripheral stat volume (blocks, hits, shots).

Defensemen Projections

TOI + Peripherals Stack

High ice time + physical style = peripheral stat bonanzas. Cross-reference TOI with hits and blocks projections.

Frequently Asked Questions

We analyze historical average ice time, recent usage trends, injury impacts on deployment, and expected game script (blowouts reduce star minutes) to project Next Week's TOI leaders.
Elite defensemen like Cale Makar, Adam Fox, and Quinn Hughes regularly exceed 25 minutes per game. Among forwards, superstars like McDavid and MacKinnon lead in minutes.
Generally yes—there's strong correlation between TOI and fantasy production. However, 4th-liners playing 15 minutes won't outscore stars playing 18 minutes due to role differences.
In overtime, only 3 skaters per team are on ice, so elite players see huge minute spikes in OT games. Games going to OT can significantly boost TOI projections retroactively.
