Point Systems
Our fantasy hockey platform uses a comprehensive point system that rewards players for various actions on the ice. Understanding how points are awarded will help you build a more effective fantasy team.

In Daily Fantasy contests, you draft a new team each day within a salary cap. Your team earns points based on their performance in that day’s games only.
Season-Long Points
Teams compete throughout the NHL season, accumulating total points based on their players’ performances. The team with the most points at the end of the season wins.
Head-to-Head
