Award points to players for scoring multiple goals in a game, or award
goalies points for only letting in a certain number of goals in a game.
For example, this feature allows you to award goalies:
2 extra points for allowing 1 goal in the game
1 extra point for allowing 2 goals in the game
See Custom Point Scoring for more details.
Some Potential Confusing Point Issues
A couple of things to note before proceeding:
- For goalies, 0GA is different from a Shutout (SO). Here's why: The NHL will only award a Shutout to a goalie
if that goalie plays the ENTIRE game. If they miss even one minute, they do not get the shutout. With 0 GA, a
goalie will get points even if they play just a single minute and don't allow any
goals. We do not recommend you use this stat category because we don't think a goalie who plays just
a few minutes in a game without allowing a goal should get extra points, but it is up to you.
- For players, 3GG is different from a Hattrick (HT) in a very subtle manner. A 3 Goal Game will only be
awarded if the player gets EXACTLY 3 goals. The Hattrick (HT) stat will get a point if the player gets 3
OR MORE goals. It is a very subtle difference, but we offer a variety of methods to set up your stats and you
can choose the one that works best for your pool.
- Players will get a point in both the Hattrick and 3 Goal Game stat category if they score 3 goals, so if you
have your pool set to award points for both of those stat categories (i.e. 2pts for a HT and 3pts for a 3GG), they
will get both point awards (i.e. they will get 5 points for the hattrick - 2 from the HT and 3 from the 3GG - plus any
other points that you have awarded for goals).
- Goalies will get a stat in both the Shutout and the 0 Goals Against stat category if they play a full game and do not
allow any goals.
- Goalies will not be awarded a Shutout if they don't play the entire game. This is the NHL's rule. However, since 0GA is
a stat category that we create and track, the goalie IS awarded a 0GA point if they play in a game (even for just 1 minute)
and they do not allow a goal.
