Ranking NHL Teams by Fantasy Performance
Fantasy Hockey Analysis: Team Gamescore Per Game Reveals Surprises and Shortcomings in NHL
In the realm of fantasy hockey, the calculation of Gamescore per Game (GSpG) by NHL team has yielded intriguing insights into team performances, with some unexpected leaders and laggards. This metric compares the average performance throughout the fantasy year and calculates a players impact relative to the average.
The latest standings place the Ottawa Senators at the pinnacle, largely due to the stellar performance of star player Brady Tkachuk. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg in a league brimming with talent and competition.
Ottawa Senators Lead the Charge
The Senators, with a GSpG of 0.32, owe much of their fantasy success to Brady Tkachuk. His dynamic play and consistent scoring have been pivotal in propelling Ottawa to the top of the fantasy rankings. Tkachuk’s impact on the ice is a prime example of how a single player’s excellence can elevate an entire team’s fantasy stature.
Top Contenders and Key Players
Not far behind are the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs, both tied with a GSpG of 0.21. Edmonton’s performance is buoyed by the likes of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, whose offensive prowess is well-known throughout the league. Toronto’s standing, similarly, can be credited to the exceptional play of Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner, who have been instrumental in their team’s success.
The New Jersey Devils and Tampa Bay Lightning follow closely, each with a GSpG of 0.20. The Devils have seen significant contributions from players like Jack Hughes, while the Lightning continue to rely on the scoring touch of Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov.
Teams with Notable Performances
Other teams like the Vancouver Canucks (0.19 GSpG) and Vegas Golden Knights (0.15 GSpG) have also made their mark. Vancouver’s Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson have been key, while Vegas owes much to the performances of players like Mark Stone.
The Struggling Giants
Contrastingly, the Washington Capitals find themselves languishing at the bottom with a GSpG of -0.67. This comes as a surprise given the presence of superstar Alex Ovechkin in their lineup. It highlights that even the most formidable players can face challenges in elevating their team’s fantasy performance. Washington’s overall team struggles are a stark reminder that fantasy hockey success hinges on collective team effort as much as individual brilliance.
Concluding Thoughts
As the fantasy season progresses, the importance of team synergy, along with individual heroics, becomes increasingly evident. While the Ottawa Senators currently lead the pack, the dynamic nature of hockey means no team’s position is secure. The ongoing tussle for fantasy dominance will continue to be a testament to the unpredictable and thrilling nature of the sport.

Predicting the Bottom of the league
In the dynamic world of fantasy hockey, where strategy and chance collide, let’s take a closer look at the bottom four teams in the Norfolk in Chance league after eight weeks. With a blend of optimism and misfortune, these teams provide a humorous insight into the world of fantasy sports. Let’s explore their rosters and team dynamics, sprinkling in a bit of light-hearted commentary on their journey in this unpredictable arena.
Peterpumpkineater69 - Rank 15 - Team Motto: “Halloween was months ago, but our performance is still spooky bad.” - Roast: Despite having talented players like Johnny Gaudreau and Jason Robertson, Peterpumpkineater69 seems to be jinxed, perhaps by the ghost of Halloween past. Even with Adam Fox’s defensive prowess, the team’s strategy resembles a haunted house-full of surprises but not many treats.
Mathletes - Rank 16 - Team Motto: “We calculated the odds of winning… and promptly ignored them.” - Roast: With a roster boasting Jonathan Huberdeau and Ryan O’Reilly, the Mathletes should be acing the numbers game. Yet, they seem to be playing fantasy hockey like it’s a Sudoku puzzle they can’t quite solve. Perhaps John Gibson in goal can bring some much-needed order to this numerical chaos.
Hughes Your Daddy - Rank 17 - Team Motto: “Our players may not score, but our puns do.” - Roast: With Artemi Panarin and Joe Pavelski, one would think scoring wouldn’t be an issue. But Hughes Your Daddy seems to be playing more for the puns than the points. Maybe Carter Hart’s goaltending can help turn their witty quips into wins, but for now, they’re more likely to score laughs than goals.
There are no goalies - Rank 18 - Team Motto: “Who needs goalies when you can have moral victories?” - Roast: Ironically named, this team actually has Andrei Vasilevskiy, one of the best in the business. However, with Brock Nelson and Nathan MacKinnon leading the charge, one wonders if their strategy is to distract opponents with offense while quietly hoping nobody notices their defensive gaps. A bold move, indeed.
Predicting Who Will Finish Last: Choosing who might secure the last place in this whimsical race is tricky, as each team combines a unique mix of talent and misfortune. “There are no goalies” takes the lead with a strategy that seems to defy conventional wisdom, despite having strong players like Vasilevskiy and MacKinnon. They’re the underdogs in a race where being the top dog isn’t necessarily the goal.
In the end, fantasy hockey isn’t just about winning; it’s about the shared experiences, the jokes, and the enduring spirit of sportsmanship. May the most humorously hapless team win!
