How to play the Immaculate Grid hockey game

Users with little or no knowledge of hockey, particularly NHL, may find it difficult to play the game but, if you know the league well, you will find it easy to land your guesses.

Every day, users are presented with a new 5x5 or 4x4 grid with teams or accomplishments listed on the top and sides. Users then select 25/16 boxes and enter the player's name as per the criteria provided.
