With 3-4 weeks remaining before the fantasy playoffs begin, it's a good time to look at the NHL schedule to see how many games each team has in the final few weeks of the season. In most leagues, the final two weeks are for the semifinals and final, or a two-week final.
Having a player or players with more games can make-or-break your playoff round. Last season, the Edmonton Oilers played four games in the final two weeks, the fewest of any team. Of course having center Connor McDavid helps, but if you weren't in a keeper League, he may have been worth dropping for a player on the Toronto Maple Leafs who had a League-high eight games in the final two weeks. It's more than likely a player with eight games produced more than McDavid in four games.
