Like any fantasy sport, the ideal situation is to match your players against the leagues weakest defenses. Hockey is no different.

However, you may be surprised that the usual league doormats such as Columbus, St. Louis, Washington, and Boston, aren’t such a successful play in 2007-08.

A look 6 weeks into the NHL season highlights these teams that are allowing up the fewest goals per game:

• 1) New York Rangers
• 2) Ottawa Senators
• 3) Columbus Blue Jackets
• 4) Detroit Red Wings
• 5) Boston Bruins
• 6) San Jose Sharks
• 7) Minnesota Wild
• 8) Montreal Canadians
• 9) Philadelphia Flyers
• 10) St. Louis Blues
  
  

On the contrary, the following teams are allowing the most goals per game to their foes and these are the teams you definitely want to load up your roster against or stream free agents against in head-2-head leagues:

• 1) Atlanta Thrashers
• 2) Toronto Maple Leafs
• 3) Los Angeles Kings
• 4) Calgary Flames
• 5) Phoenix Coyotes
• 6) Buffalo Sabres
• 7) Edmonton Oilers
• 8) Florida Panthers
• 9) Pittsburgh Penguins
