NHL Heavy Hitters
- Each board uses one stat, picked from points, goals, assists, penalty minutes, goalie wins, shutouts or save %. Every row adds its own filter.
- Lock in a player and a season for each row. Once it’s locked, it’s final, and Skip or a filter change counts the board as a loss.
- A player can only be used once, so every row needs a different name.
- If a player you used on one row also leads another row, that row scores against the best player you could still pick there.
- Tap Reveal to score all your picks at once.

About this game & data
Pick a different player and season for every row. Each pick gets a row score out of 100, and the row’s leader scores 100.
In the first row, Johnny Gaudreau was the next best pick after Connor McDavid, with 75.
Nikita Kucherov topped more than one row. A player can only be used once, so the set uses him in one row only.
The biggest number in that set was Nikita Kucherov’s 100.

What goes into NHL Heavy Hitters boards
Rows use points, goals, assists, penalty minutes, goalie wins, shutouts or save percentage. The divisions are the Atlantic, Metropolitan, Central and Pacific.
Twist rows ask for things like points from a defenseman, or goals with under 20 assists.
Career twists include players who never won the Hart or the Art Ross, and players not taken in the first round.
The 2020-21 season had its own divisions, so rows from that year cover the league or one club.
