Shots on-goal are the most repeatable statistic in hockey. We have seen that players that shoot a lot tend to be very productive. This makes the ability to generate shots one of the most important factors in point production for forwards. When shooting percentage is added into the equation it becomes easier to judge the sustainability of a player's production. A hot streak is typically accompanied by a high-than-normal shooting percentage which levels off over time. On the flip side, a cold streak usually sees the percentage drop significantly but if the player is still getting shots it is only a matter of time before he snaps out of his funk.

 

For example Rick Nash is averaging close to 3.5 shots per game. If he finishes with a 20-percent shooting percentage he will score 57 goals. However, if he finishes the year at a more sustainable star's shooting percentage of 12 percent he will finish with 34 goals.

 

Note: This article focuses only on the rest of this season in points-only leagues.

Patrice Bergeron: Despite a rough star offensively for the Bruins Bergeron has maintained a very respectable point total. Still, with just five goals on 78 shots you have to think that he will have more success finding the back of the net down the stretch.
