Fourteen finals on Saturday. Florida scored eight. Edmonton and Vegas each scored six. Columbus needed overtime and zero goals against. AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system) scored every NHL box. We recapped the six highest team lines. 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. An 8-3 pays like a night that got away from the other bench. A 4-0 still pays. A regulation loss that scores two can sit at the floor.
| Rank | Team | Score | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Florida Panthers | 8-3 vs SEA | 26.60 |
| 2 | Edmonton Oilers | 6-2 at UTA | 23.20 |
| 2 | Vegas Golden Knights | 6-2 vs PIT | 23.20 |
| 4 | Nashville Predators | 5-2 vs STL | 21.00 |
| 5 | Dallas Stars | 4-0 at CHI | 20.80 |
| 6 | New York Islanders | 4-1 at TOR | 19.80 |
| 6 | Boston Bruins | 4-1 at LAK | 19.80 |
| 8 | Washington Capitals | 4-2 vs NJD | 18.80 |
| 8 | Tampa Bay Lightning | 4-2 vs VAN | 18.80 |
| 10 | Montreal Canadiens | 4-3 OT vs BUF | 17.80 |
Florida owns the club night on 8-3. Edmonton and Vegas tie at 23.20. New York and Boston tie at 19.80. Simon Holmstrom at 9.20 beat David Pastrnak at 8.30, so the Islanders took the sixth recap. Detroit Red Wings also sit at 17.80 after a 4-3 shootout. Jet Greaves is the goalie gem: 16.60 on a 1-0 overtime win. Columbus's team line is 14.20, last among Saturday's winners, so that game does not get a seventh recap.
Top skaters
C, W, and D only. Goalies have their own table. Arttu Hyry is not seeded on AthX player pages, so that name stays unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Pos | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Connor McDavid | C | EDM | 17.20 |
| 2 | Carter Verhaeghe | C | FLA | 15.50 |
| 3 | Sam Bennett | C | FLA | 14.90 |
| 4 | Macklin Celebrini | C | SJS | 13.70 |
| 5 | Nikita Kucherov | W | TBL | 12.20 |
| 6 | Jason Robertson | W | DAL | 11.20 |
| 7 | Emmitt Finnie | C | DET | 11.10 |
| 8 | Cole Caufield | W | MTL | 11.00 |
| 8 | Arttu Hyry | W | DAL | 11.00 |
| 10 | Arseny Gritsyuk | W | NJD | 10.10 |
| 10 | Mark Stone | W | VGK | 10.10 |
McDavid's 17.20 is two goals, three assists, two shots, and a block. Verhaeghe's 15.50 is the natural hat trick plus the power-play bonus. Bennett's 14.90 is the other three. Celebrini's 13.70 and Finnie's 11.10 come from the unreapped San Jose-Detroit shootout. Kucherov is 12.20 from the unreapped Tampa rally. Caufield's 11.00 is the overtime winner in Montreal, also unreapped.
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. Greaves and Jake Oettinger posted shutouts. Tristan Jarry and Dylan Garand are unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jet Greaves | CBJ | 16.60 |
| 2 | Ilya Sorokin | NYI | 13.00 |
| 3 | Jake Oettinger | DAL | 12.60 |
| 4 | Logan Thompson | WSH | 12.20 |
| 5 | John Gibson | DET | 11.80 |
| 5 | Dan Vladar | PHI | 11.80 |
| 5 | Jeremy Swayman | BOS | 11.80 |
| 8 | Tristan Jarry | EDM | 11.00 |
| 9 | Dylan Garand | NYR | 10.50 |
| 10 | Juuse Saros | NSH | 10.20 |
Greaves's 29-save overtime shutout is the slate's top player line, ahead of McDavid. Sorokin's 28-save win is the Islanders recap. Oettinger's 19-save blank is the Stars recap. Garand's 10.50 is the overtime-loss credit plus 28 saves in the same Columbus game.
Featured games
Saturday had 14 finals. These six are the recap cut.
What stood out
Three things.
First, the skater board is a five-point McDavid night sitting on top of two Florida hat tricks. Verhaeghe and Bennett did not need an assist. The Panthers' 26.60 still needed the 8-3. Seattle floors at 0.
Second, the recap cut is team math, not the prettiest goalie line. Greaves at 16.60 is the best individual score of the slate. Columbus at 14.20 is not a top-six club night. Oettinger's shutout already came with Dallas at 20.80, so it is in the recap set.
Third, the unreapped games still own real names. Celebrini, Kucherov, Finnie, and Caufield all clear 11.00. Cole Caufield scored twice, including overtime, and Montreal still sits 10th on the team board.
