Dundee Stars made Gameweek 6 their own with three wins, and Carl Stankowski turned that run into the week’s biggest FHL player return. His 116 saves and three victories brought 66.6 fantasy points as Dundee won in Glasgow and Fife before beating Cardiff at home. For fantasy managers, it was a sharp change of emphasis after Joseph Pierce’s 99-point performance in Gameweek 5.
🏒 Dundee thrive on the drama
Wednesday’s 6–5 overtime victory at Glasgow set the tone. Dundee trailed 5–3 in the third period before power-play goals from Rasmus Nousiainen and Keaton Jameson levelled the scores. Jameson then completed his hat-trick just five seconds into overtime. Stankowski made 30 saves in a game that refused to settle down.
The Stars followed that with a 4–3 win at Fife, where Stankowski stopped 48 shots and Kris Inglis supplied the deciding goal. Sunday brought another comeback: Cardiff led 2–0 early on, but Dundee pulled level before Nousiainen struck at 63:29 for a 3–2 overtime win. Stankowski added another 38 saves to complete his busy week.
Elsewhere, Belfast beat Glasgow 4–1 and Manchester 5–4, Patrick Guay scoring the overtime winner against Storm. Nottingham’s Benjamin Corbeil struck at 57:58 to seal a 3–2 victory over Sheffield, before the Panthers lost 2–1 in a shootout at Coventry.

⭐ Stars lead the fantasy returns
Dundee filled the first four places in the weekly player rankings. Behind Stankowski, Jameson returned 64 fantasy points from three goals and two assists. Travis Ewanyk matched that five-point hockey contribution and scored 58 fantasy points, while Gary Haden’s goal and five assists produced 56. The distinction matters: hockey points count goals and assists, while FHL fantasy points reflect the wider scoring system.
Kristoff Kontos supplied five assists for 49 fantasy points, just ahead of Brandon Cutler on 48 and William Boysen on 47. Among defencemen, Logan Roe led with 39 from a goal and two assists, closely followed by Morten Jensen’s 38 and three assists. A week dominated by Dundee still offered useful returns elsewhere.

Robotham topped the fantasy team rankings with 468.1 points, ahead of Cadishead Stormtroopers on 446.4 and Blaze me daddy🔥 on 442. Robotham’s reward in the cumulative standings was a climb of 119 places, from 190th to 71st. That is a substantial move in a single gameweek.

Ballycastle Puffins moved from fifth to third, while Maple Flames climbed from 12th to seventh. Csollákin’ Crackin’ made another notable move, rising 13 places from 22nd to ninth.

📈 Cutler leads the five-week form picture
The rolling form window now covers Gameweeks 2–6. Among players with entries in all five reports, Cutler leads with 217 fantasy points, averaging 43.4 per gameweek. JJ Piccinich follows on 182.5, averaging 36.5, with Pierce on 168.5 and 33.7 respectively.

These comparisons use complete weekly records; missing entries are not assumed to be zero. Dundee supplied this week’s headline performances, but Cutler’s sustained returns and Robotham’s climb show why both recent form and the wider standings deserve attention.
