NHL DFS Hockey Gamelogs – Player Trends, Line Shifts, Fantasy Scores & Usage Analysis

Welcome to the Hockey Gamelogs Tool at 5V5 Hockey — the most comprehensive platform for breaking down individual NHL player performance through the lens of fantasy points, opportunity, and recent usage.

Inspired by tools like the NFL Fantasy Gamelogs and Yahoo Fantasy NFL Game Logs, this tool is built specifically for NHL daily fantasy sports, offering deeper context and more advanced visualization than standard stat sheets.

Here, you can explore:

• Game-by-game DraftKings fantasy point output (DKPTS)
• Player-specific DKPT evolution over time
• Top scoring games, with dates and opponents
• A radar chart visualizing player strengths across key performance areas — including opportunity rating
• Usage insights like time on ice (TOI), line assignments, and power play roles

Whether you’re playing on DraftKings, FanDuel, OwnersBox, or building props for Underdog Fantasy, this tool gives you the historical data and context to make better decisions.

Visuals That Matter: DKPTS Line Chart + Player Ratings Radar

Each player gamelog opens with two powerful visuals that bring their stats to life:

1. DKPTS Evolution Chart (Line Graph)

This visual graph tracks fantasy point output over the course of the season, helping you spot:

• Hot streaks and cold stretches
• Fantasy volatility or consistency
• Production trends vs. different teams or dates

Also included:

• Average DKPTS per game as a fantasy production baseline
• Top 3 single-game fantasy performances, including opponent and score

These visuals make it easy to recognize whether a player is a safe floor option or a boom-or-bust GPP dart.

2. Radar Chart with Player Ratings

This chart is powered by our Player Ratings Model and breaks down a player’s performance in five key categories:

• OFF (Offense): Overall scoring impact (goals, assists, shot attempts)
• PP (Power Play): Production and deployment on special teams
• OPP (Opportunity Score): A proprietary rating based on time on ice, offensive zone starts, line assignments, and special teams role
• DEF (Defense): Includes defensive zone time, blocked shots, and positional responsibility
• 5v5: Player performance at even strength

Each score ranges from 0 to 100, and the overall score (displayed numerically in the top right) summarizes their total two-way impact.

Use the Opportunity Score (OPP) to identify players who are:

• Getting top-line and PP1 usage
• Seeing increased minutes or offensive deployment
• Positioned for a breakout game due to favorable role shifts

Gamelog Table Features

The gamelog table provides sortable, filterable data across recent games:

Column	Description
Date	The date of the game
Opponent	The team the player faced
Result	Team result (W/L and score)
DKPTS	DraftKings fantasy points earned
Goals/Assists	Scoring stats
Power Play Points	Total fantasy points generated on the power play
Shots on Goal	Critical for DK shot bonuses and prop research
Blocked Shots	Important for defensemen and DK bonus points
TOI (Time on Ice)	Minutes played — essential for assessing player value and consistency

You can sort by any column, filter by opponent or date, and quickly surface key performance data across slates.

How to Use Gamelogs for DFS Strategy

Spot Players on Hot Streaks Before the Field

Look for players averaging 12+ DKPTS over their last 5–7 games, but still priced under $5,000. That’s often the window for value before pricing adjusts.

Understand Role-Based Ceiling

Did a winger’s production spike only during PP1 usage? Did their TOI dip after moving to FL3? Use gamelogs to pair performance with context.

Use for GPP Differentiation

Some players with low ownership histories might dominate specific teams (e.g., elite track record vs. CHI or CBJ). Look for matchup-specific patterns in their logs.

Validate Props

Compare recent SOG or goal/assist trends to what books like Underdog Fantasy or PrizePicks are offering on player props.

How to Use for Season-Long and Best Ball

• Stream players showing rising TOI and consistent shot volume
• Bench slumping players whose line demotions have hurt opportunity
• Spot breakouts after power play promotions (check PP points + TOI trends)

Best ball drafters can use this to confirm whether late-round skaters are holding onto valuable deployment — especially after injuries or line shifts.
