4 Strategy Tips To Dominate Fantasy Hockey

Learn the expert secrets used by top European fantasy managers to consistently score high points.

1. Power-Play Stacking

Pair a top center with a winger from the same first power-play unit. When they assist each other on goals, your fantasy score doubles up instantly.

2. Goalie Schedule Advantage

Goalie wins award +4.0 points and shutouts add +5.0 points. Always select starting goalies facing high-volume shooting opponents or back-to-back tired teams.

3. Defensive Shot Blockers

Don't just draft high-scoring defenders. Blue-liners who block 3-4 shots per game (+0.5 pts per block) deliver steady, high-floor point returns.

4. Cap Optimization

Instead of spending $12.5M on one marquee player, balance your roster with two $6.5M breakout wingers to maximize depth points.
