SCORING RULES
- A player may only play on one of the first 3 lines and/or the 4th line. Players must play in their specific position. A forward listed as a center must play center.
- For the 4th (Special Teams) line, an additional forward (any position) and an additional defenseman are played.
- The defensive shutouts are scored by rewarding the defenseman who on his real team has recorded a shutout. Defensive Shutouts are scored only once regardless if the defenseman plays on more than one line.
- If a player did not play in the game that his NHL team recorded a shutout, he will not receive a DSO in our League.
- Power Play goals and Game Winning goals will be duplicated. If a power play goal is also a game winning goal, it will be recorded for both categories on the fourth line.
- Short Handed goals and Game Winning goals will be duplicated. If a game winning goal is also a short handed goal, it will be recorded for both categories on the fourth line.
- Power Play Goals will also be recorded for the Forwards on Line 2 and the Defensemen on Line 3 as straight goals for those lines.
- Categories with W/L/T 's ( Refer to Scoresheet) are pitted head to head against the other team. Best numbers (high or low) are awarded 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie and 0 for a loss. Highest numbers count for everything except for the PIM. This category goes to the team with the lowest number of penalty minutes. Line 4 and defensive shutouts count total points. The W/L/T points plus shutout points from the Goalies' Scoresheet are added to the Players' totals for a Team Total. Highest point total is awarded 2 points for the win, 1 for a tie and 0 for a loss for the game.
- Two Goalies are used for the week. The stats are combined.
Assists: The assists count one point for each assist and a total is calculated.
GAA: Goalies are pitted head to head. Team with the lowest goals against average takes the win for 2 points. Goalies must play a minimum of 20 minutes to record a game played for the calculation of the GAA. The GAA is calculated by the minutes the goalie played not by the game. (For example: If a goalie played in one game in the past, his GAA was based on the goals against in relation to the 60-minute game even if he only played 20 minutes of that game. If he gave up 3 goals in that one period, his GAA for the game would have been 3.00. Our calculation for that same goalie will be a 9.00 GAA for that game by extrapolating the goals he gave up in only 20 minutes.)
Wins/Ties: Goalies receive 1 point for a win and 0.5 points for a tie within the categories.
Shutouts: Goalies receive a point for each shutout which is added to the Goalies final tally. After the W/L/T is determined, goalies' shutouts are added to the Team Total as well.
Save %: Goalies are pitted head to head. Team with the highest save percentage takes the win for 2 points. The Save % is calculated by adding both goalies numbers together and then calculating the save %.
- The team with the most points gets the Goalie Category win of 2 points. In case of a tie, one point is awarded to each team.
- This number is added to the Team Totals for the week.
- Goalies' shutouts, additionally, are added to the Team Totals for the week.
