Strategy Tips

Maximize your points with these expert strategies for building winning lineups.

01

Target High-Volume Shooters

Players with high shot totals accumulate points even without goals. Look for forwards averaging 3+ shots per game for consistent scoring.

02

Stack Power Play Units

Power play points earn bonuses. Stack players from the same PP unit to maximize correlation when teams score with the man advantage.

03

Prioritize Matchups

Target players facing weak defensive teams or backup goalies. Check recent form and injury reports before finalizing your lineup.

04

Goalie Selection is Key

A goalie with a shutout can win contests. Prioritize starters on teams with strong defense facing low-scoring opponents.

05

Don’t Forget Defensemen

Offensive defensemen who play PP time can be league-winners. Their goals are worth 8 points – more than forwards.

06

Monitor Line Combinations

Line shuffles affect performance. Check morning skate reports and confirmed lineups before games start to optimize your roster.

⭐ Captain Selection

In certain contest formats, you can designate one player as your Captain. Your Captain’s points are multiplied by 1.5x, making this decision crucial for success.

Pro Tip: Choose a high-floor player with goal-scoring upside as your Captain. Elite centers in favorable matchups are often the safest Captain choices.
