Why points matter

Points (goals + assists) are the primary measure of offensive production in fantasy hockey. Elite point producers are the cornerstone of winning fantasy teams.

Points breakdown

- Even-strength points: Hardest to predict, most common - Power play points: High-volume for PP1 players, more predictable - Shorthanded points: Rare bonus production

Multi-point game indicators

- Playing against backup goalies - High-totaled games (Vegas lines 6+ total goals) - PP1 role on team with power play opportunities

💡

Pro Tip: Players averaging 1.0+ points per game are elite. In DFS, target players due for multi-point games based on matchup and line placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

We combine goal and assist projections, factoring in line placement, PP usage, opponent strength, goaltender quality, and historical scoring rates to estimate total points for each player.

Connor McDavid, Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, and Leon Draisaitl consistently lead NHL scoring. These elite producers appear at the top of projections when they have favorable matchups.

Elite players average 1.2-1.5 points per game over a season. On any given night, projections of 0.8-1.2 points indicate a good matchup for a star player.

Generally yes, but consider matchup context. A star facing an elite goalie may have lower actual upside than a streamer facing a struggling backup netminder.
