Utah Mammoth — defenseman shot volume

New York Rangers have allowed 8.50 shots on goal per game to opposing defensemen (+10.9% versus league). That opens a Utah Mammoth defenseman SOG search. Utah Mammoth have generated 6.88 through their defense (-10.3% 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.

Mikhail Sergachev, Nate Schmidt and John Marino have taken a meaningful share of those shots, though teammates have plenty of them too. Their current lines or pairs give them even-strength ice; Mikhail Sergachev also skates on PP1. Mikhail Sergachev recorded 1.29 SOG and 3.34 attempts per qualified game at five-on-five; current PP1 membership adds a possible route, with 0.49 SOG and 0.75 attempts per game in prior power-play states. The teams’ past PP chance rates add context for that 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.
