Acquisitions are now opened. We will have a limit of four per (regular) match-up. The first matchup is shorter and will only allow two.
We can make unlimited acquisitions until the first day.

Remember you must have six active defensemen and you're not allowed more than three active goalies.

I managed to get both the first scorer of the year (Pacioretty) and the best player at opening night (Wingels). Can this continue? I doubt it. For the first time it really looks like I really lach a second starting goalie, I'm used to having 2-3, and that takes away all the goaltending dominance "free" points I've gotten over the years.

I took a look just now, and the 5-5-2 shown seems correct to me...
You're ahead in Assists, Penalty Minutes, PP Points, Blocked Shots and Goalie Wins
You're opponent's ahead in Goals, Plus/Minus, Hits, Goalie Saves and Goalie Minutes
The two of you are tied in Game Winning Goals and Shots

Right you are! I went by the bold...
I have no idea why your opponent's been given the lead when you're tied...that is weird!

That is because the seconds don't show in the standings. Luongo played 60:56 in his game

MOron...you did that right before he is going to start playing in California. Only have him in your lineup when the Nucks play California teams 2x that week. Guarantee he gets 30 PIM that week alone.

I know that I'm fairly new to the league but I would like to make a suggestion - to replace the GWG category with something less random?
Face offs for instance, that would make wingers taking FOs even more valuable or Dman points??

I need a good goalie.
Stamkos, Kesler and Karlsson are untouchables but all other skaters are negotiable.
