Four finals on Friday. One of them needed a shootout: Columbus 3-2 over Pittsburgh. AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system) scored every NHL box. We recapped all four. We did not invent extra games.
Top team fantasy scores
AthX Engine team points pay a win, half-credit for an overtime loss, then goals for and against. A 6-3 jumps the board. A 3-2 shootout still pays. Regulation losses that get outscored hard floor at 0.
| Rank | Team | Score | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seattle Kraken | 6-3 at DET | 22.20 |
| 2 | Anaheim Ducks | 5-1 at WPG | 22.00 |
| 3 | Washington Capitals | 3-1 vs NYR | 17.60 |
| 4 | Columbus Blue Jackets | 3-2 SO vs PIT | 16.60 |
| 5 | Pittsburgh Penguins | 2-3 SO at CBJ | 7.40 |
| 6 | Detroit Red Wings | 3-6 vs SEA | 0.60 |
| 7 | New York Rangers | 1-3 at WSH | 0.00 |
| 7 | Winnipeg Jets | 1-5 vs ANA | 0.00 |
Seattle is the club night on 6-3. Anaheim sits 0.20 behind on 5-1. Pittsburgh keeps 7.40 on the shootout loss. Detroit keeps 0.60. New York and Winnipeg floor at 0.
Top skaters
C, W, and D only. Goalies have their own table. Ben Meyers, Frederick Gaudreau, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Damon Severson, Judd Caulfield, Tim Washe, and William Wallinder are not seeded on AthX player pages, so those names stay unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Pos | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ben Meyers | C | SEA | 10.80 |
| 2 | Frederick Gaudreau | C | SEA | 10.20 |
| 3 | Berkly Catton | C | SEA | 8.90 |
| 3 | Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | W | DET | 8.90 |
| 5 | Damon Severson | D | CBJ | 8.80 |
| 5 | Judd Caulfield | W | ANA | 8.80 |
| 7 | Mikael Granlund | C | ANA | 8.20 |
| 8 | Tim Washe | C | ANA | 8.10 |
| 9 | Viktor Arvidsson | W | DET | 6.80 |
| 9 | William Wallinder | D | DET | 6.80 |
Meyers's 10.80 is a goal, two assists, three shots, one block, and two PIM on Seattle's four-goal second. Gaudreau's 10.20 is two goals in that same burst. Catton's 8.90 matches Brandsegg-Nygard's first NHL goal plus an assist. Caulfield's first NHL goal and helper is 8.80, tied with Severson's season-debut two-point night. Brandon Montour (6.50) sits just outside this ten.
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. Sergei Murashov, Cam Talbot, Dylan Garand, Daniil Tarasov, and Clay Stevenson are unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sergei Murashov | PIT | 15.30 |
| 2 | Philipp Grubauer | SEA | 14.20 |
| 3 | Logan Thompson | WSH | 10.20 |
| 4 | Cam Talbot | CBJ | 8.60 |
| 5 | Lukas Dostal | ANA | 7.80 |
| 6 | Igor Shesterkin | NYR | 4.00 |
| 7 | Dylan Garand | NYR | 3.20 |
| 8 | Daniil Tarasov | DET | 2.00 |
| 9 | Clay Stevenson | WPG | 0.00 |
| 10 | John Gibson | DET | -2.00 |
Murashov's 43-save overtime loss is the night's top player line. Grubauer's 37-save win in Detroit is 14.20. Thompson's 21-save 3-1 is 10.20. Talbot's Columbus debut is 8.60. Shesterkin left at 8:20 of the second with a lower-body injury (13 saves, no decision). Gibson was pulled after five goals on 15 shots.
Featured games
Friday had four finals. All four are recapped.
What stood out
Three things.
First, the goalie board outran the skaters. Murashov and Grubauer both cleared 14.00. No skater reached 11.00. A 43-save overtime loss still leads a night when Seattle scored six.
Second, Seattle's fourth line owned the skater table. Meyers and Gaudreau went 1-2. Catton tied for third. Detroit still got two first NHL goals (Wallinder, Brandsegg-Nygard) and a 40-24 shot edge, and left 1-3-0.
Third, Shesterkin left without putting weight on the right leg, the Associated Press recap said, and Washington still needed Jenner's first Capitals goal plus Wilson's empty-netter. The injury is the Rangers story. The 3-1 is the box.
Track the board on the marketplace. Fantasy points measure the box. Price is what traders will pay. They are not the same number.
