FAQ

How are Jalen Chatfield's fantasy points calculated?
This public page uses NextDyne's NHL standard scoring (a goal is 3 points). It is not half-PPR and it is not your league's custom scoring. League scoring shows up inside the NHL app.

Chatfield scores 202 out of 10,000 (#561 on the NHL board). The score is hockey VORP from NHL-standard projections and a 3-year age horizon — not the football board and not half-PPR. Version nhl-dvs-v0.2.
What is Chatfield's 2026–27 Engine projection?
We project 124.7 NHL-standard fantasy points over 74.055 games. Counting stats (goals, assists, and the rest of the template) feed both this line and Dynasty Value Score.
