How does fantasy point scoring work?

In a fantasy point league, points are awarded based on how well your players perform in each of several statistical categories. All real-life statistics have associated point values, and each player's points are summed to produce your daily total.

So, if in your league, a goal is worth two points, an assist one and a penalty minute one, a player with two goals, three assists and 10 penalty minutes would score 17 [(2*2) + (3*1) + (10*1)] fantasy points.

Fantasy points, which are only awarded to starting players on your team, are tallied throughout the season. Each team with the highest total at the end of the year wins its league championship.

Points leagues are available as an express registration option and are set to the default scoring shown below. Commissioners often prefer to customize their leagues by specifying both the stat categories used and the point modifier values. This allows the flexibility to emphasize various styles of play. For instance, if you value defense over offense, you might increase the points for goalie stats.

Please note that if the commissioner customizes the stat categories without specifying their associated point modifiers, no fantasy points will accrue in that category. Point modifiers may be adjusted at any point during the season.

Default Points Scoring:

Forwards/Defensemen: Goals (3), Assists (2), Plus/Minus (1), Penalty Minutes (0.5), Powerplay Points (1), Shots on Goal (0.4)
Goalies: Wins (4), Goals Against (-1), Saves (0.2), Shutouts (2)
