Pick-a-Pen: Game #67 -- Red Wings at PENGUINS 3/17/24 *ST. PATTY'S DAY BONUS*

[Orlando Penguin]

Official Rules:
-Pick a player and score points based on his points scored in that game. Accrue more points than anyone else over the course of the season and you win. Players' points are weighted, so check the table and choose wisely. Point modifiers will be updated every 10 games.
-Picks must be submitted by puck drop. The official NHL score sheet will list the game start time. A pick made at the same time as puck drop will count.
-No conditional picks - Part of playing the game is knowing who is playing the game. If you want to change your pick, you can edit your original post up until puck drop. Any edits after faceoff will disqualify you for that game.

-Game-Winning Goals:
Regulation -- an additional 1 point (i.e. If Letang has a multiplier of 2 and scores the game winner, it's worth 3 points).
Shootout -- Only the deciding goal in the shootout will count. That player will receive 1 point, no multiplier involved.

-Hat Tricks + – If the player you choose scores a hat trick in a game, you will get 10 additional points. Any additional goal after that in a game will be 10 points each. That is good for just the goal scorer, not any who assist on it (example – Crosby at x1 scores 4 goals, if you have him, you’ll get 24 points – 4 x 1 + 10 +10).

-If you select a goaltender to get a shutout and he gets an assist, you'll get 10 points. If he scores a goal, that’s 50 points. Good only for if you choose the shutout option. If you get the shutout and the goal/assist, well done.

-Power Play Goals:
Any PPG will be a DOUBLE multiplier for the goal scorer ONLY (So a Crosby or Malkin goal would be worth 2 points instead of the 1 and a Ruhwedel PPG would be worth 14)

-Shorthanded Goals:
Any SHG will be worth TRIPLE their multiplier. In addition, an assist on a SHG will be worth DOUBLE the multiplier (So O' Connor from Eller and Letang would be a 9 from a 8 and a 4)

BONUS: IF THE PENGUINS SCORE A POWER PLAY GOAL (BIG IF) AND THE WING IN THE BOX IS EITHER PATTY O'KANE OR DYLAN MCLARKIN, THE GOALSCORER WILL HAVE THEIR TOTAL DOUBLED. SO THAT MEANS IF ELLER SCORES A PPG IN THIS SCENARIO, HE'D GET 12 NORMALLY...DOUBLE THAT TO 24. COULD BE A POT OF GOLD ON THIS ST. PATTY'S DAY

Really needed that Eller SHG into the empty net. Another 18 points missed by a hair
