AthX NHL Top 10: Sorokin's 19.80, Aho's 14.10, a 13-Game Saturday

Thirteen finals on Saturday. One 6-0 shutout. A 6-5 overtime after a four-goal lead melted. Three clubs tied at 19.80. AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system) scored the NHL boxes. The public daily skater board is live. The public daily team board is empty. The public daily goalie board skipped Leevi Merilainen's 11.00 and Devon Levi's 9.40. The boxes still count.

Top team fantasy scores

AthX Engine team points pay a win, half-credit for an overtime loss, then goals for and against. A 6-0 home win jumps the board. A 4-1 still pays. A 6-5 overtime loss stays on the sheet because of the 6-point overtime-loss credit.

9Tampa Bay Lightning3-1 vs WSH17.60
9Edmonton Oilers3-1 vs SEA17.60

The Islanders' shutout is the club night. Colorado is a goal against away from matching it. Pittsburgh needed overtime and still sits third because six goals pay. Utah, Minnesota, and Vancouver are the same 4-1 math. San Jose's 5-4 overtime win is seventh, just outside the recap cut. Montreal's 11.00 overtime-loss line did not make this table. Several regulation losers hit the floor.

Top skaters

C, W, and D only. Goalies have their own table. Ivan Chernyshov's 11.70 from San Jose's overtime win is not on the public daily skater board. He is not seeded, so the name stays unlinked here.

Aho's 14.10 is two goals (one on the power play), an assist, six shots, and 2 PIM in a 3-2 overtime win at Philadelphia that sits outside the six recaps. Suzuki needed a four-point comeback that still lost. Schmaltz scored twice, including his 500th NHL point. Necas had two in a 6-1. Novak scored the overtime winner after Pittsburgh blew 5-1. Guenther's power-play night is sixth. Chernyshov scored twice in overtime for San Jose.

Top goalies

Win, 0.4 per save, minus 1.2 per goal against, plus 2 for a shutout, plus 0.5 for an overtime loss. Merilainen (11.00) and Levi (9.40) are scored from the NHL box. They did not appear on the public daily goalie board.

Sorokin's 37-save shutout is the player of the night, ahead of every skater. Saros stopped 29 in a 2-1 that did not crack the recap cut on team points. Woll's 37 saves came in an overtime loss. Merilainen won his first Vancouver start. Levi is unlinked.

Featured games

Six recaps, the highest AthX Engine team-FP games on the slate:

  • Islanders 6, Devils 0
  • Avalanche 6, Blues 1
  • Penguins 6, Canadiens 5 (OT)
  • Mammoth 4, Blue Jackets 1
  • Wild 4, Bruins 1
  • Canucks 4, Flames 1
  • What stood out

    Three things.

    First, the crease owned the board again. Sorokin 19.80 sits clear of Aho's 14.10. A 37-save shutout is supposed to win a night with 13 games. It did.

    Second, comebacks paid skaters and still split the team math. Suzuki 13.90 in an overtime loss. Novak 12.80 with the extra-session winner. Pittsburgh 20.20. Montreal 11.00. That split is the overtime-loss credit doing its job.

    Third, three 4-1 winners tied at 19.80. Utah's power play, Minnesota's home opener, Vancouver's four-goal third. Same team card. Different sports stories.
