Strategically designate your Captain and Star Player to boost your scoring potential:
Choose wisely! Your Captain and Star Player selections can make or break your lineup. Consider matchups, recent form, and game difficulty when making these crucial decisions.
Research opponent defenses and goalie statistics. Target players facing weaker defensive teams or backup goalies for higher scoring potential.
Players on scoring streaks often continue their momentum. Track recent performance trends and ride the hot hand in your lineups.
Players on first power play units get more scoring opportunities. Prioritize forwards and defensemen who see significant PP time.
Your Captain choice is your most important decision. Look for high-floor, high-ceiling players in favorable matchups for maximum impact.
Elite goalies facing weak offenses can rack up saves and win bonuses. Don't overspend on forwards if a premium goalie offers better value.
Mix star players with value picks. Spending all your cap on superstars leaves holes elsewhere. Find underpriced players to balance your lineup.
Plus/Minus (+/-) measures a skater's impact on team goal differential. A player gets +1 when their team scores at even strength while they're on ice, and -1 when the opposing team scores. Power play and penalty kill goals don't affect +/-.
Bonus points reward exceptional performances. Hat tricks, shutouts, and short-handed goals earn extra points beyond the base scoring. Stack your lineup with players capable of these game-changing performances to separate yourself from the competition.
