AthX NHL Top 10: Cooley 14.20, Flames 16.60, Two Finals

Two finals on Sunday. Calgary ended a seven-game Carolina streak with 4:28 left. Minnesota held Columbus to 14 shots and still needed Kirill Kaprizov's 10th goal. AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system) scored both NHL boxes. We recapped every final. We did not invent extra games.

Top team fantasy scores

AthX Engine team points pay a win, half-credit for an overtime loss, then goals for and against. A 3-2 pays like a first home win that actually closed. A 2-1 still pays. A regulation loss that scores once can sit near the floor.

1Calgary Flames3-2 vs CAR16.60
2Minnesota Wild2-1 vs CBJ15.40
3Carolina Hurricanes2-3 at CGY1.40
4Columbus Blue Jackets1-2 at MIN0.20

Calgary owns the club night on 3-2. Minnesota is 1.20 behind on 2-1. Carolina keeps 1.40 for scoring twice and losing in regulation. Columbus sits at 0.20.

Top skaters

C, W, and D only. Goalies have their own table. Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Adam Fantilli are not seeded on AthX player pages, so those names stay unlinked.

Frost's 8.80 is the power-play tap and the saucer on Sharangovich. Kaprizov's 7.50 is the NHL lead at 10 goals. Chatfield's 7.30 is the 17-second answer that made it 2-2. Yurov and Kotkaniemi share 6.40. Fantilli's delayed-penalty slap is 6.20 on a night Columbus finished with 14 shots.

Top goalies

Win, 0.4 per save, minus 1.2 per goal against, plus 2 for a shutout, plus 0.5 for an overtime loss. No shutouts on the slate. Cam Talbot is unlinked.

4Jesper WallstedtMIN7.00

Cooley's 34-save win is the night's top line, first star, first win of the season after seven goals against in Colorado. Talbot's 32-save loss is 10.40 on a 14-shot night. Wallstedt needed only 13 saves for the home win.

Featured games

Sunday had two finals. Both are here.

  • Flames 3, Hurricanes 2
  • Wild 2, Blue Jackets 1
  • What stood out

    Three things.

    First, the goalie board is the story. Cooley's 14.20 is 34 saves against a seven-game streak. Talbot's 10.40 is the other volume night, and it still lost. Wallstedt's 7.00 is the opposite: 13 saves, 14 shots against, a franchise-low neighborhood.

    Second, Calgary's 16.60 is a 3-2 that needed 86 seconds at the end of the second and a saucer at 15:32 of the third. Frost at 8.80 and Sharangovich at 7.60 sit 1 and 2 on the skater board. Carolina's 1.40 is two goals, 36 shots, and a regulation loss.

    Third, Minnesota's 15.40 is Kaprizov to 10 in nine games and Yurov's rush, not a shootout. Columbus's 0.20 is Fantilli's 6.20 and 14 shots. That is a two-game Sunday. No extra recaps.

    Track the board on the marketplace. Fantasy points measure the box. Price is what traders will pay. They are not the same number.
