Anaheim Ducks — defenseman shot volume

Florida Panthers have allowed 7.81 shots on goal per game to opposing defensemen (+1.9% versus league). That opens a Anaheim Ducks defenseman SOG search. Anaheim Ducks have generated 8.99 through their defense (+17.2% versus league), which describes their normal volume. The defensive allowance starts the player scan; the team’s prior shooting rate does not veto it. That makes the back end a natural place to look for shots.

Jackson Lacombe carry the largest prior share of this shot group. Pavel Mintyukov also has a current line and recorded five-on-five shots and attempts, so the shot case reaches beyond the primary names. Other players supplied 68% of the team's prior group SOG. Pavel Mintyukov recorded 0.92 SOG and 2.46 attempts per qualified game at five-on-five; the current role has no established PP shot route. Attempts include shots that missed or were blocked; they are part of the same shot pool as SOG.

That makes their SOG markets the cleanest way to bet on the shots. They need to put pucks on net; they do not need to score.

On the power play, Anaheim Ducks have produced 0.31 assists per chance, and Florida Panthers have allowed 0.41.
