Dougie Hamilton is one of the NHL’s most prolific shooters from the backend. Despite a dip in average ice time playing on a much deeper New Jersey Devils defense core, Hamilton has piled up the shots. He ranks fourth among all defensemen in attempts and has hit the target more times than all but Zach Werenski and Cale Makar. Hamilton has done his best work in New Jersey, clearing 2.5 shots at a 56% clip while attempting 6.7 per game. A date with the Pittsburgh Penguins should help bring out a ceiling performance in terms of volume. They rank fifth in 5v5 pace over the last 10 games, making this a nice pace-up spot for the Devils. The Penguins also rank 26th in 5v5 shot suppression, and 28th while killing penalties, during that span. Hamilton generates a lot of volume at 5v5 and quarterbacks the league’s best power plays, so he will certainly be put in positions to take advantage of Pittsburgh’s inability to limit shots.
