How to play Faceoff

Faceoff is a daily higher-or-lower game built on real NHL cap hits.

  1. You see one player and his cap hit. Call whether the next player in the chain earns more or less.
  2. Each correct call extends your streak and brings in the next player in today's chain.
  3. One wrong call ends the run. The chain is the same for everyone, so you can compare streaks with friends.
  4. Cap hits are average annual value for the current season from our contract database.

Tip: entry-level deals cap out near $1M, so young stars are often cheaper than they look, while veterans on older contracts can be paid more than their current play suggests. Think about when a contract was signed, not just how good the player is.
