# NHL Shots on Goal Prop Dataset for Historical Skater Volume Research

## Question this dataset helps answer
Which NHL skaters historically clear 2+, 3+, 4+, or 5+ shots-on-goal props, and what pregame shot volume, ice-time usage, team context, and opposing-goalie context were present before puck drop?

## Short answer
This dataset helps sports-betting researchers, fantasy hockey analysts, and dashboard builders compare, screen, and investigate NHL skater shot-volume context using pregame rolling shots, ice time, team shot environment, and opposing-goalie trend signals.

## What the public preview proves
- Which skaters, teams, seasons, and game types are present in the sample
- Which fields are usable as pre-event shot-volume features versus post-event outcomes
- Which rows already support 2+, 3+, 4+, and 5+ shots-on-goal threshold analysis

## Public preview vs full dataset
- Preview: 10000 rows and 103 columns
- Full: 201274 rows and 103 columns

The full dataset includes 201274 rows across NHL skater-game observations, making it large enough for dashboard analysis, historical filtering, shots-on-goal prop research, and exploratory modeling workflows.

This product is built around a specific buyer problem rather than a generic hockey export. Plenty of public NHL box scores exist, but buyers who care about shots-on-goal prop research still have to do the expensive part themselves. They need to time-order skater game logs, calculate rolling shot volume, normalize ice time, keep team shot environment separate from postgame outcomes, identify the opposing starting goalie, summarize that goalie's recent form, and keep everything aligned to the exact shot thresholds they care about. Generic player logs do not answer that workflow cleanly. This dataset does.

Each row represents one NHL skater in one completed regular-season or playoff game from 2022-10-07 through 2026-06-14. The full file contains 201274 rows across 103 columns. That row volume matters. It is large enough for league-wide filtering, season-over-season comparison, team-level screening, skater dashboards, threshold studies, and time-aware exploratory modeling. Buyers can analyze skaters by team, by opponent, by game type, by recent shot volume, by ice-time usage, or by opposing-goalie context without shrinking the work to a toy sample.

The pre-event side of the table is the core commercial value. Every row includes rolling skater shot volume such as recent shots on goal, recent points, recent goals, recent shifts, recent time on ice, and shot share of team offense. It also includes team context that existed before puck drop: home-away status, recent team shots for, recent team shots against, recent goal environment, days since the skater's last game, days since the team's last game, and opponent shot-suppression signals. On top of that, the dataset adds opposing-starting-goalie features that are difficult to maintain by hand: prior starts, days since prior start, rolling saves, rolling shots faced, rolling goals allowed, rolling save percentage, and season-to-date save percentage based only on earlier starts.

The matchup-history layer is what makes the product different from a normal skater game log. A buyer can filter directly for skaters that already have opponent-specific shot history, compare recent 3+ or 4+ shots-on-goal rates across similar usage tiers, or screen for skaters facing goalies who have recently faced heavier shot volume or allowed more rebound opportunities. They can also compare whether the skater's team entered the game in a stronger shot-creation stretch while the opponent had been allowing more volume. The dataset is positioned as research infrastructure for those questions, not as a recommendation engine.

The post-event side of the table captures what actually happened in the completed game. That includes shots on goal, goals, assists, points, plus-minus, blocked shots, and threshold-hit flags such as 2+ shots on goal, 3+ shots on goal, 4+ shots on goal, 5+ shots on goal, 1+ point, and 1+ goal. This is deliberate. The table keeps a clear separation between pre-event features and post-event outcomes so buyers can use it for responsible historical analysis, train-test workflows, and dashboard building without guessing which fields leak future information.

Because the build uses the public NHL schedule and gamecenter boxscore endpoints, the source path is transparent and reproducible. Buyers are not depending on a mystery feed. The dataset keeps official identifiers for the game, skater, teams, and opposing goalie, which means analysts can join it to their own projection, fantasy, or notebook workflows if they want to extend the research. The core product value is that they do not have to hand-build the time-ordered skater, team, and goalie context first.

## Responsible use note

This dataset is for research, analysis, dashboard building, educational use, and exploratory modeling. It does not provide betting advice, picks, guarantees, or predictions of future outcomes. It should not be marketed as a way to guarantee winning bets, beat sportsbooks, or produce certain returns.

## Modeling notes

- Each row represents one NHL skater in one completed regular-season or playoff game.
- Pre-event features include rolling skater shot volume, ice-time usage, opponent-specific shot history, team shot environment, and opposing starting goalie trend fields.
- Post-event outcomes include the skater's actual box-score line plus threshold-hit flags for common shots-on-goal prop ladders.
- The coverage window runs from 2022-10-07 through 2026-06-14.
- The full dataset contains 201274 rows, which is large enough for train-test splits by date, by season, by team, by player role group, or by minimum opponent-history depth.
- A sensible modeling workflow should split by date or season rather than shuffle randomly because the skater and goalie features are time ordered.
- Opposing-goalie features are based on completed prior starts, so they are best interpreted as historical research context rather than guaranteed future goalie confirmation.
- The threshold-hit flags are historical outcomes for analysis, not suggestions for future wagers.
- The dataset is descriptive infrastructure for NHL shot-volume research, not a finished betting model.

## Why the free sample matters

The public sample proves the commercial claim quickly. A buyer can inspect the schema and immediately verify that the file is not just a copied NHL player game log. They can see stable skater-game identifiers, rolling shot-volume fields, team shot-environment fields, opponent-history fields, opposing-goalie context fields, and actual postgame threshold outcomes. They can also check whether the seasons, teams, players, and game types they care about are present before paying for the full file. That is what the public sample is supposed to do: prove the buyer task, the row meaning, and the quality of the enrichment.

## Source and build notes

The build uses the public NHL schedule feed plus public gamecenter boxscores, then computes rolling skater, team, opponent, and goalie features locally with time ordering preserved. This avoids a common DIY mistake where analysts accidentally mix future results into historical prop research. The output is a single, analysis-ready table rather than a stack of raw JSON files that still need player-game parsing, rolling-feature engineering, and goalie-context joins.
