Q: How do back-to-back games affect player performance? A: Back-to-back games can impact player performance and ice time. Some teams may rest star players, while others might limit minutes. Monitor team schedules and rotation patterns to make informed decisions.
Q: What happens if my player gets injured? A: If a player is injured, you can transfer them out or keep them on your bench until they return. We provide regular injury updates to help you make informed decisions. Pay special attention to injury reports before games.
Q: What are the key statistics to watch in fantasy hockey? A: Key statistics include goals, assists, points, shots on goal, power play points, hits, blocks, and plus/minus. Different leagues may emphasize different stats, so check your league settings.
