Standard fantasy categories include goals, assists, power-play points, shots on goal, hits and blocked shots for skaters and wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goalies. Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to past production in the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs, line combinations, defense pairs, power-play usage, team goalie situations, anticipated start volume, projected goal support (or lack thereof), injury history or concern, age, contract status and overall upside for the 2026-27 season. This list is a collaborative effort by Pete Jensen, Chris Meaney and Troy Perlowitz.
"NHL Fantasy Stars" has a fantasy point scoring structure for skaters with the following values: 7 points for a goal, 4 points for an assist, 1 point for a shot on goal, 1 point for a hit and 1 point for a blocked shot. This free-to-play game uses a team goalie structure with the following values: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a team power-play goal, 2 points for a shorthanded goal (SHG), minus-4 points for a goal against (GA), 5 points for a shutout and 1 point for a save.
