Using defense vs position on a prop

1. Find the opponent

   Say a right wing's line is against the Vancouver Canucks. The row shows 2.9 shots on goal per right wing per game, 32nd of 32.

2. Compare with the league

   The league average against right wings is 2.1, so this defense gives up 0.8 more per right wing. That puts it in the "Weak" bucket.

3. Check the recent games

   Over the last 5 it is 2.1, lower than the season, so check whether the defense has improved. A big gap between the season and the last 5 is worth a look before you trust either one.

4. Then check the player

   A matchup is one input. In the app, see how the player has done against today's exact line and compare every book's price.

How this is counted

Each number is what opposing players put up against this team, per game, averaged over the team's 2026-27 games. It counts the top 2 players at the position by ice time per game. Teams are ranked on that number league-wide: 1st allows the least, last allows the most, for every stat, with ties sharing a rank. Last 10 and last 5 are the same defense over its most recent games; a dash means too few games to rank (under 3 for L10, under 2 for L5). Computed each morning from every box score of the season, preseason excluded, and refreshed here by 8:40 AM ET.
