As the season progresses, the separation between teams in each category widens. For example, the team with the most goalie wins might have 68 wins and the team with the second most might have 61 wins. Similarly, teams in the middle of the pack in each category might be separated by 10 or more goals, game-winning goals, shutouts, etc.

Your rotisserie total changes only when your ranking in one or more categories changes and is not offset by a change in the opposite direction in another category. You might score six goals in a single day without changing your season ranking in the goals category. Or the six goals might result in a one-point change in the standings that is offset if you lose ground in another category.

Your stats have not been wasted. A good day statistically in any category cuts the gap between your team and the teams ahead of you or might widen your lead in those categories you are leading in your league.
