    Fantasy hockey schedule FAQ

    What is an off night in fantasy hockey?

    An off night is a date with 7 or fewer NHL games, so fewer than half the league plays. Most fantasy rosters have open spots on those nights, so a player who plays then adds stats without bumping a starter. See this week's off-night streaming targets.

    Which teams play 4 games in Week 3?

    BUF, FLA, MIN, NJD, OTT and VGK play 4 or more games in Week 3 (Oct 12 to Oct 18, 2026).

    How are fantasy hockey weeks numbered?

    Weeks run Monday to Sunday, counted from the week of opening night. Week 1 of this season started with opening night on a Tuesday. Platforms can number weeks differently, so check the dates shown next to each week number.
