Fantasy hockey streamers FAQ
What is streaming in fantasy hockey?
Streaming means rotating a roster spot through players who have games on the nights you need them, especially off nights, to collect more games played and stats than a set lineup would.
How are these streaming targets chosen?
Teams are ranked by off-night games, then total games, then how many goals their opponents allow. Goalies are each team's projected starter for the week at 60% or higher. Skaters are on the first power-play unit and outside the top 50 in points. The full approach is on our methodology page.
When does this page update?
The schedule refreshes every morning, stats twice a day, and goalie projections as starters are reported, so Week 17 targets can change until the games are played.
