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.
