NHL Player Survivor is Splash Sports' real-money NHL contest format. It's a fast-paced, elimination-style game where you pick NHL players to record points — and survive as long as possible.
How It Works
Each slate, you select one primary NHL player and one alternate from different teams. If your primary player records a point (goal or assist) during their game, your entry advances to the next slate. If they don't, your entry is eliminated.
Your alternate is used as a backup if your primary player's game is postponed, cancelled, or if the player doesn't dress for the game. If neither player's game is valid, the slate is typically voided for your entry.
Format Details
Pick requirement: 1 primary + 1 alternate per slate, from different teams
Scoring threshold: Your primary player must record at least 1 point (goal or assist) in regulation or overtime to advance
Team reuse: Depending on contest settings, you may be restricted from picking the same player more than once
Missed picks: Failing to submit picks before the deadline results in elimination
Payout: Winner-takes-all. If all remaining entries are eliminated in the same slate, the prize is split equally.
