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 NHL skater shot-volume history using rolling usage signals, team shot environment, and opposing-goalie context.

What the public preview proves

• Which skaters, teams, seasons, and game types are represented in the sample
• Which columns 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 research

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.

Loading example

from datasets import load_dataset; ds = load_dataset("Karmane/nhl-shots-on-goal-prop-trends-sample"); df = ds["data"].to_pandas()

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.

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, team shot context, opponent shot-suppression context, and opposing starting goalie trend fields.
• Outcomes include actual shots on goal, points, goals, and threshold-hit flags for common shots-on-goal prop ladders.
• The current coverage window runs from 2022-10-07 through 2026-06-14.
• The sample is meant to prove schema, coverage, and row meaning rather than replace the full dataset.

Quick Start

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("Karmane/nhl-shots-on-goal-prop-trends-sample")
df = dataset["data"].to_pandas()
print(f"Rows: {len(df):,}, Columns: {len(df.columns)}")
print(df.head())

Or with pandas directly:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/Karmane/nhl-shots-on-goal-prop-trends-sample/data/data.parquet")
print(df.head())

Use Cases

• Compare which skaters historically clear 2+, 3+, 4+, or 5+ shots-on-goal thresholds.
• Screen skater rows by recent volume, ice time, opponent history, or opposing-goalie context.
• Build time-aware notebooks that keep pregame volume features separate from postgame outcomes.
• Filter by team, opponent, game type, or goalie trends before building dashboards or exploratory models.
