Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the scoring system work? A: Players earn points based on their real-life performance. Goals, assists, shots on goal, hits, blocks, and other actions earn positive points, while penalties and turnovers result in negative points. Check our detailed scoring guide for a complete breakdown.
Q: What is the best strategy for selecting players? A: Focus on players who consistently perform well, consider upcoming matchups, and maintain a balanced squad. It’s important to look at form, ice time, power play opportunities, and value for money when making selections. Pay attention to line combinations and player roles.
Q: Can I make changes to my team after the season starts? A: Yes! You can make transfers throughout the season, subject to your league’s rules. Most formats give you a certain number of free transfers per week, with additional transfers costing points. Daily lineup changes are also possible.
Q: How do price changes work? A: Player prices fluctuate based on transfer activity and performance. Popular players’ prices rise as more managers buy them, while less popular players’ prices fall. Understanding these changes is key to building team value.
Q: What’s the difference between Daily and Season-Long leagues? A: Daily leagues reset each day, allowing you to build a new team for each slate of games. Season-Long leagues run for the entire NHL season, testing your long-term strategy and team management skills.
Q: How do private leagues work? A: Private leagues allow you to compete against friends or colleagues. You can create your own league with custom settings, invite specific players, and even set up mini-leagues within your main competition.
Q: What happens if my player gets injured? A: If a player is injured, you can transfer them out or keep them on your bench until they return. We provide regular injury updates to help you make informed decisions. Pay special attention to injury reports before games.
Q: How do back-to-back games affect player performance? A: Back-to-back games can impact player performance and ice time. Some teams may rest star players, while others might limit minutes. Monitor team schedules and rotation patterns to make informed decisions.
