NHL Fantasy Points Against – Team and Goalie Matchup Insights for DFS

Welcome to the NHL Fantasy Points Against Tool at 5V5 Hockey — your new edge for analyzing how NHL teams and goalies are performing defensively against fantasy scoring.

Modeled after the popular NFL Fantasy Points Against tools from Yahoo Fantasy and NFL.com Fantasy, we’ve brought the same powerful concept to the NHL.

This tool shows you which NHL teams allow the most fantasy points — and which goalies are giving up the most or fewest points to opponents — across multiple timeframes.

Use it to target the best matchups, avoid the toughest defenses, and find sneaky goalie plays for DraftKings, FanDuel, OwnersBox, or Underdog Fantasy.

Why Fantasy Points Against Data Matters

In DFS and fantasy hockey, matchups are everything.

It’s not just about how good your player is — it’s about:

• How strong or weak the opposing defense is
• Whether the goalie is struggling or dominating
• What kind of pace and shot volume a game projects to have

This tool identifies the soft spots you can exploit — or the tough matchups you might want to avoid — based on real fantasy production allowed.

What This Tool Shows

We break it down into two major sections:

1. Team Fantasy Points Allowed

This table shows:

• Average fantasy points allowed per game by each NHL team
• Filterable by last 7 days, last 30 days, or full season
• Can be sorted by:
  • Overall points allowed
  • Specific trends (e.g., has a team started leaking points recently?)

This helps you quickly see:

• Which teams are giving up tons of goals, assists, and SOG (shots on goal)
• Which teams are tightening up defensively
• Where you should target skaters and stacks for DFS builds

2. Goalie Fantasy Points Allowed

This second table focuses on goalies specifically:

• Average fantasy points allowed per start
• Shows which goalies are giving up high-event games (shots, goals allowed)
• Identifies which goalies are stonewalls and which are targets

This helps you:

• Choose goalies in strong form who limit fantasy points (good for DFS goalie selection)
• Target skaters against struggling goalies for offensive upside

How to Use Fantasy Points Against for DFS and Betting

Target High-Event Matchups

Find teams allowing 3+ goals per game and lots of shot volume over the past 7 days. These teams create ideal DFS environments for stacking top lines or PP1 units.

Stream or Stack Against Weak Goalies

Use the goalie fantasy points allowed table to:

• Target goalies allowing high fantasy points
• Stack shooters and power play players against struggling netminders
• Avoid running into hot goalies unexpectedly

Avoid Shutdown Spots

Teams allowing fewer than 2.2 goals per game and low SOG over 7 or 30 days are fade candidates. Lower your exposure to skaters facing tough defenses unless they are elite salary-savers or value plays.

Spot Trends Early

Sometimes a team that was elite defensively early in the season starts to regress. The 7-day and 30-day views help you catch these shifts before projections adjust, giving you an edge in GPPs and cash games.
