How to Play Puckdoku
Player Eligibility: Only players who have played at least one regular-season NHL game for the specified team can be selected. This ensures the game highlights genuine NHL talent.
Award/Stat Criteria: Some cells require players to meet specific awards or stats achieved during their time with a team. Match achievements with teams and seasons for precise guesses.
Relocation Rules: Relocated teams are treated as a single franchise for the "Teams Played" category (e.g., achievements for the 1990s Winnipeg Jets count toward the present-day Jets).
Strategic Diversity: Players can only be used once per grid, encouraging diverse picks and avoiding repetitive selections.
Non-Changeable Guesses: Choices are locked in once made, adding an element of risk. Careful consideration is key!
Shots and Scoring: Every selection counts as a shot. Aim for fewer total shots to achieve a lower score and showcase your expertise.
Uniqueness Calculation: Uniqueness is calculated by summing player percentages and adding 100 for empty cells—lower scores indicate skillful picks.
