Do certain cards only count towards certain objectives?

Im new to HUT (im fimiliar with it but never played before) and im trying to complete the Washington Captials player objectives for this week. I currently have 2 Caps players on my team, the 85 Cover Athlete Ovi (LW1) and an 83 Power Up Icon Sergei Gonchar (LD1). I noticed that I was only getting credit for the objectives with Ovi and not Gonchar. Does anyone maybe know why? I thought it might be because the Gonchar card is a Power Up Icons card and I still have their objects to complete. I believe this is happening with the Supernatural cards a d their objectives as well as I have multiple in my line up. Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.
