NHL GRID ARCHIVE

Past daily boards from 2026-08-16 to 2026-08-29, with the players who solve them

The NHL grid builds a fresh board from each day's date, so no two days share a puzzle. These are the last 14 of them. Each crossing shows how many players in our data satisfy both sides, and the rarest few of them by career games played, because naming the obvious answer is easy and naming the deep cut is the point.

The counts and names come from the same player data the game checks your guesses against, so anything listed here would be accepted in the game. Today's board is not here, because people are still playing it. Play today's NHL grid.
