Strategy Tips

Choose Your Captain Wisely

Your captain earns 2x points, so target elite forwards who log heavy ice time on the top power‑play unit. Centers playing on the top line with strong wingers often provide the most consistent scoring.

Balance Scoring and Physical Play

Don’t ignore players who contribute hits and blocked shots. Depth forwards and defensemen can accumulate points through peripheral stats, giving you a reliable floor even if they don’t light the lamp.

Monitor Matchups

Target players facing teams with weak defense or backup goalies. Also consider defensive players whose opponents allow high shot volumes – they’ll rack up blocked shots and hits.

Goalies Are Game Changers

A goalie with a high‑volume workload (lots of saves) can earn significant points even in a loss. Prioritize starters on teams with strong defensive systems.

Stay Within Salary Cap

You can’t stack all superstars. Find value in middle‑six forwards or second‑pair defensemen who see power‑play time. Use their lower salaries to afford elite captains.

Check Lineup News

Injuries, line combinations, and starting goalies can change up to game time. Stay updated through our news feed and adjust your lineups before the lock.
