What drives blocked shots? Blocks occur when a player positions themselves to stop an opponent's shot. Defensemen block the most, but physical forwards contribute too.
Block volume factors
- Position: Defensemen average 2-3x more blocks than forwards - PK role: Penalty killers face more shots to block - Opponent: Facing high-shot-volume teams = more block opportunities - Game script: Underdogs protecting leads block more shots
Fantasy value
Blocks are a category most managers overlook. Streaming shutdown D-men can dominate this category weekly.
💡
Pro Tip: Target D-men on underdog teams facing offensive powerhouses. They'll see tons of shots to block, even in losing efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions
We analyze historical blocking rates, opponent shot volume, penalty kill usage, game situation projections, and player style to estimate blocked shot totals for this week.
Shutdown defensemen like Vladislav Gavrikov, Rasmus Ristolainen, and PK specialists consistently lead in blocks. These players average 2-4 blocks per game.
