Three finals on Monday. No overtime. Buffalo swapped goalies and still took Florida 5-3 after Rasmus Dahlin left. Ottawa is 5-1-0. Minnesota scored three times in the first against Vegas, then killed five penalties with Nico Sturm in a hospital. AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system) scored every NHL box. We recapped all three. 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 5-3 jumps the board. A 4-1 still pays. Regulation losses that get outscored hard floor at 0.

Top skaters
C, W, and D only. Goalies have their own table. Stephen Halliday, Maxim Shabanov, and Noah Ostlund are not seeded on AthX player pages, so those names stay unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Pos | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sam Reinhart | C | FLA | 10.20 |
| 2 | Tim Stützle | C | OTT | 8.10 |
| 3 | Tage Thompson | C | BUF | 7.60 |
| 4 | Rasmus Dahlin | D | BUF | 7.40 |
| 4 | Seth Jones | D | FLA | 7.40 |
| 6 | Stephen Halliday | C | OTT | 7.20 |
| 7 | Rasmus Andersson | D | VGK | 6.90 |
| 8 | Josh Doan | W | BUF | 6.80 |
| 8 | Maxim Shabanov | W | MIN | 6.80 |
| 8 | William Karlsson | C | VGK | 6.80 |
Reinhart's 10.20 is two power-play goals in a loss. Stützle's 8.10 is a goal, an assist, and two blocks on a 4-1. Dahlin's 7.40 includes the power-play bonus on a night he did not finish. Quinn Hughes and Tyler Kleven sit at 6.70, 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. Carter Hart, Nico Daws, and Colten Ellis are unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Linus Ullmark | OTT | 13.40 |
| 2 | Jesper Wallstedt | MIN | 9.00 |
| 3 | Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen | BUF | 7.00 |
| 4 | Carter Hart | VGK | 6.00 |
| 5 | Akira Schmid | FLA | 3.60 |
| 6 | Nico Daws | NJD | 2.80 |
| 7 | Jacob Markstrom | FLA | 1.20 |
| 8 | Colten Ellis | BUF | 0.40 |
Ullmark's 29-save win is the night's top player line. Wallstedt is 9.00 on 21 saves in a 4-2. Luukkonen is 7.00 after entering for Ellis in the second. No shutouts. No overtime losses. Samuel Ersson and Adin Hill dressed and did not face a shot.
Featured games
Monday had three finals. All three are recapped.
What stood out
Three things.
First, the skater board belongs to a Panther who lost. Reinhart's two power-play goals are 10.20. Buffalo still owns the team table on 5-3.
Second, Ullmark is 5-0-0. Twenty-nine saves in Newark pay more than Wallstedt's 21-save win or Luukkonen's relief night. The goalie table is not the same list as the team table.
Third, Minnesota killed five Vegas power plays with Sturm already gone. The 18.80 club line is a 4-2 that started 3-0 and had to finish the hard way.
Track the board on the marketplace. Fantasy points measure the box. Price is what traders will pay. They are not the same number.
