NYR. 17B2B (tied for 2nd most), 17 Saturday games, 12 Sunday games (2nd most) and they no longer have a stud backup. Lundqvist owners are happy, tons of GP I bet, but lower amount of games against worse teams.

Dallas, only team to not play all yr on one day of the week (no games Wednesdays). A goalie group of Lehtonen, Neimi, and Andersen/Miller/Varlamov would be one of the better combos.

Thanks again for putting this together!

[Slug]

Awesome! Thanks for this once again.

[MarmotKing]

Thanks for the tool again!

[BranDOOM]

Thank you - didn't have this last year, pleased to work with it this year!

[PenguinHunter]

This is such a helpful tool. Thanks so much!

This a fantastic tool, thanks for helping all of us with this! I want to make sure I'm using it correctly, though. I have two goalies already (Price and Holtby). We start two goalies in a daily start league. We have a third roster position. Based on the way I'm reading the tool, I would be looking to grab Andersen, Miller, Schneider, Bernier, Crawford, or whoever ends up being Winnipeg's goalie. Can someone confirm this for me?

You got it.
I just ran 2/2 MON/WAS and got that same list of teams: ANA (64 no-conflicts), VAN (61), NJ (61), TOR (60), WPG (59), CHI (59).
Note there's a bunch of teams at 58-53 no conflicts... so you should still focus on best-available goalie if you can't get Andersen(ANA) - ideal.

Nashville is last at 49 no-conflicts, so Rinne obviously not the best choice for purely avoiding conflicts.

I just ran it for you and it looks like you have it figured out. Those are the top 6 teams with the least amount of conflicting nights. And if you note there is 3 less conflicting nights that you could get from drafting Andersen.

Great tool eh!
