Twelve finals on Thursday. Boston scored six and allowed none. San Jose and St. Louis each scored six and allowed two. Detroit scored five in Vancouver. Pittsburgh threw a shutout at a 6-foot-9 debut. Edmonton needed a shootout after Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each put up five points. AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system) scored every NHL box. We recapped the six highest team lines. Darcy Kuemper's 17.00 in a 3-2 overtime win on Long Island is the goalie gem just outside the cut. We did not invent a seventh recap.
Top team fantasy scores
AthX Engine team points pay a win, half-credit for an overtime loss, then goals for and against. A 6-0 pays. A 6-2 pays a little less. A 6-5 shootout still pays a win. A regulation loss that scores twice sits on the floor.
| Rank | Team | Score | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Boston Bruins | 6-0 vs NSH | 25.20 |
| 2 | San Jose Sharks | 6-2 at OTT | 23.20 |

| 9 | Toronto Maple Leafs | 5-4 vs NYR | 19.00 |
| 10 | Los Angeles Kings | 3-2 OT at NYI | 16.60 |
Boston owns the club night. San Jose and St. Louis share 23.20. Seattle's 20.00 sat one ranking outside the recap six. Dallas Stars also landed at 16.60 (3-2 OT vs Winnipeg). Carolina Hurricanes took the overtime-loss half-credit at 11.00.
Top skaters
C, W, and D only. Goalies have their own table. Justin Barron, Dylan Holloway, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Brandon Duhaime, and Charlie McAvoy are unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Pos | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leon Draisaitl | C | EDM | 18.90 |
| 2 | Connor McDavid | C | EDM | 17.30 |
| 3 | David Pastrnak | W | BOS | 14.80 |
| 4 | Lucas Raymond | W | DET | 14.00 |
| 5 | Justin Barron | D | STL | 13.90 |
| 6 | Dylan Holloway | W | STL | 13.80 |
| 7 | Roope Hintz | C | DAL | 11.00 |
| 8 | Adam Fox | D | NYR | 10.50 |
| 9 | Artemi Panarin | W | LAK | 10.40 |
| 10 | Collin Graf | W | SJS | 10.30 |
Draisaitl's 18.90 is two goals, three assists, four shots, and two power-play bonuses in a shootout. McDavid's 17.30 is the other five-point line. Pastrnak's 14.80 is two goals and two assists in a 6-0. Raymond's 14.00 is two goals and an assist, all in the first period. Barron and Holloway stacked a 6-2 that tied San Jose on the club board. Hintz, Fox, and Panarin scored in games that missed the recap cut. Graf's 10.30 includes the landing short-handed bonus. Duhaime sits at 10.20, just outside.
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. Yaroslav Askarov and Kuemper tied at 17.00. Nico Daws is unlinked.
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yaroslav Askarov | SJS | 17.00 |
| 1 | Darcy Kuemper | LAK | 17.00 |
| 3 | Michael DiPietro | BOS | 16.20 |
| 3 | Devin Cooley | CGY | 16.20 |
| 5 | Arturs Silovs | PIT | 15.40 |
| 6 | Philipp Grubauer | SEA | 12.60 |
| 7 | Joel Hofer | STL | 11.40 |
| 8 | Stuart Skinner | WPG | 10.90 |
| 9 | Nico Daws | NJD | 8.20 |
| 10 | Jake Oettinger | DAL | 7.40 |
Askarov's 41-save win is recapped. Kuemper's 41-save overtime win is the gem: Los Angeles is 16.60, 10th on the club board, so that game does not get a seventh recap. DiPietro's first NHL shutout is 16.20 inside the Boston recap. Cooley's 36-save 2-1 in Calgary is the other 16.20 outside the cut. Silovs's 26-save shutout is recapped. The NHL box is 41 for Askarov and 26 for Silovs. The Associated Press recap had 39 and 25.
Featured games
Thursday had 12 finals. These six are recapped.
What stood out
Three things.
First, the skater board is two Oilers at five points, then a Bruins captain in a 6-0. Draisaitl at 18.90. McDavid at 17.30. Pastrnak at 14.80. The NHL recap put McDavid at 31 points through 10 games.
Second, the goalie board is a tie at 41 saves, then a first career shutout, then a 36-save 2-1 that did not make the recap six. Askarov and Kuemper at 17.00. DiPietro and Cooley at 16.20.
Third, 12 games is still six recaps. Boston 25.20. San Jose and St. Louis 23.20. Seattle at 20.00, and Kuemper's Islanders overtime, stay in this Top 10. No extra recaps.
