Here we are, almost at the end of it all. The penultimate scoring period in season-long scoring formats and final head-to-head matchup is upon us. The names on the rankings are starting to show just how little fantasy hockey is left to play, as every missed game becomes magnified when it represents 10 percent of the remaining season. Keep looking for value, find players with hot sticks and get your team across the finish line!
These rankings are based on expectations of fantasy points produced from Friday, March 28, until the end of the season. Fantasy points are based on the ESPN Fantasy standard game (for skaters: goals = 2 points, assists = 1 point, shots and hits = 0.1 points, blocked shots and special-teams points = 0.5 points; for goaltenders: wins = 4 points, OT losses = 1 point, shutouts = 3 points, saves = 0.2 points, goals against = -2 points).
