Preparing for the end of the season in head to head NHL fantasy leagues

Assuming you make the final playoff round, the last week of the season is extremely important.

Here's how the last six days end (April 1 2 3 4 5 6)

ANH 5 @LA 6 PHO

ATL 1 FLA 5 TAM

BOS 2 @NJ 4 @OTT 5 BUF (yikes!)

BUF 1 @TOR 3 @MON 5 @ BOS (BUF has a favorable FEB MAR APR schedule)

CAL 1 @EDM 3 @MIN 5 @ VAN

CAR 1 @ WAS 2 TAM 4 FLA == very favorable, and if I understand the rules correctly, you could drop CAR players and pick up ANH players but could not trade.

CHI 2 DET 4 NSH 6 @DET (yikes!)

COL 1 @VAN 6 MIN

CLB 3 @DET 5 @STL 6 STL (I don't understand this team)

DAL 3 @PHO 4 PHO 6 SJ (depends on how tough PHO is)

DET 2 @CHI 3 COL 6 CHI (very favorable and note that CHI plays on 4 while DET plays on 3)

EDM 1 CAL 3 @VAN -- season ends early, as it will.

FLA 1 @ATL 4 @CAR 5 @WAS == not easy to be predict -- advantage could go either way.

LA 1 @SJ 3 SJ 5 ANH (yikes!)

MIN 3 CAL 6 @ COL (only two games, neither good -- COL and CAL are the two toughest stadiums, IMO)

MON 1 @OTT 3 BUF 5 TOR == not bad

NAS 1 @STL 3 STL 4 @CHI == ends early

NJ 1 @NYI 2 BOS 4 @PHI 6 NYR -- 4 games! Generally favorable. Good to not have PIT in the final week.

NYI 1 NJ 3 NYR 4 @ NYR == NYI owns these teams -- season ends early

NYR 3 @NYI 4 NYI 6 @NJ == in previous years, this would have been fine, but this year, they'll be lucky to score against these teams, let alone win a game.

OTT 1 MON 3 @ TOR 4 BOS == the NHL gave this team such a favorable schedule because they want to give the Senators a head start on the path to the cup == BEST

PHI 2 @ PIT 4 NJ 6 PIT == favorable games to win, but this team will lose at least one player in the final week (and so will PIT or NJ)

PIT 2 PHI 6 @ PHI == only two games, but the final one should be ADV PIT because of the rest (but rests can also slow down a team -- they'll need to survive the first five minutes and then they'll be ok)

SJ 1 LA 3 @LA 6 @ DAL == two LA games!!!! great!

STL 1 NAS 3 @NAS 5 CLB 6 @CLB -- too many games in too short a time with too intense rivalries. STL and CLB and NAS had better not be fighting for the 8 spot, or there will be blood

TAM 2 @CAR 3 @WAS 5 @ATL == this team had better learn how to win away games

TOR 1 BUF 3 OTT 5 @ MON == this team won't win any in the last week

VAN 1 COL 3 EDM 5 CAL nice home stand, esp. good for Luongo owners, but the last game will not be easy

WAS 1 CAR 3 TAM 5 FLA == nice home stand but every game in this division is up for grabs -- I think the first game, vs. CAR, will be the most important
