    10 Shocking NHL Stats That Could Shape Fantasy Hockey in 2026-27

    Nate and Blake dig into ten of the most surprising statistics from last season—and what each one could mean for fantasy hockey in 2026-27. Can the historically dominant Edmonton and Dallas power plays maintain their success? Is Colorado’s man advantage destined for a major bounceback? How did Pittsburgh go from projected lottery team to one of the NHL’s highest-scoring offences, and was any of it sustainable? The guys also examine a potential Los Angeles offensive turnaround, the teams most likely to regress from elevated shooting percentages and whether Ottawa’s strong defensive process could fuel a Linus Ullmark rebound. On the player side, they discuss Dylan Cozens’ elite post-Olympics chance creation, Auston Matthews’ underlying dominance, Logan Cooley’s 100-point potential and the remarkable numbers behind Matthew Schaefer’s historic rookie season. Ten shocking stats. Ten major questions. Plenty of implications for your next fantasy draft.
