Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between Daily and Season-Long leagues? A: Daily leagues reset each day, allowing you to build a new team for each slate of games. Season-Long leagues run for the entire NHL season, testing your long-term strategy and team management skills.
Q: How do back-to-back games affect player performance? A: Back-to-back games can impact player performance and ice time. Some teams may rest star players, while others might limit minutes. Monitor team schedules and rotation patterns to make informed decisions.
Q: How do I join public leagues? A: Public leagues are open to everyone. You can join global leagues, regional competitions, or special event leagues through the ‘Leagues’ section of the app.
Q: What is the captain system? A: Your captain earns double points for their performance. Choose your captain wisely each day, considering matchups, form, and potential for high-scoring games. The captain choice can make or break your daily performance.
Q: What is the best strategy for selecting players? A: Focus on players who consistently perform well, consider upcoming matchups, and maintain a balanced squad. It’s important to look at form, ice time, power play opportunities, and value for money when making selections. Pay attention to line combinations and player roles.
Q: What happens if my player gets injured? A: If a player is injured, you can transfer them out or keep them on your bench until they return. We provide regular injury updates to help you make informed decisions. Pay special attention to injury reports before games.
Q: Can I make changes to my team after the season starts? A: Yes! You can make transfers throughout the season, subject to your league’s rules. Most formats give you a certain number of free transfers per week, with additional transfers costing points. Daily lineup changes are also possible.
Q: How do price changes work? A: Player prices fluctuate based on transfer activity and performance. Popular players’ prices rise as more managers buy them, while less popular players’ prices fall. Understanding these changes is key to building team value.
