Shots on goal allowed per game to each position group over a team's last 17 games (regular season and playoffs; early in a season the window reaches back into last season). 1st = allows the most, so the softest matchup for a player at that position (green); the last third is the toughest (red). Click a column to sort.
Green marks the softest third of the league against that position (it allows the most), red the toughest third. A group that did nothing in a game counts as a zero. From box scores, regular season and playoffs; the same ranks grade a player's matchup on the props boards. History of what a defense gave up, not a forecast for any player.
