Our fantasy hockey projections don’t end at your draft, they’re updated every other week, taking into account the latest data from the 2025-26 season and a player’s most recent usage. It’s a light version of the customizable sheet.

These aren’t rankings adjusted to your league settings based on VORP (that would be a nightmare for me to maintain with new players being added throughout the year), but we still have custom scoring settings so you can see each player’s fantasy worth. That’s whether your league counts goals as 3 points or 5 points, plus-minus as 1, power play points… whatever your settings are, they can be adjusted.

Almost all the scoring settings from the preseason sheet had updated projections with the exception of PIM and shorthanded points, which is not something I project in-season (and we do apologize to the troglodytes who still use PIM in their leagues in the Year 2025-26). There are also no games played projections, so injuries are not accounted for, which is why you’ll still see projections for injured players throughout the season.

This is Version 1. If you have any more suggestions or questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.
