The chance that the player scores at least once, overtime included: his share of his team’s goals this season (recent games count more) times the goals we expect from his team. Tested on two NHL seasons. There is no lineup feed: a player who sits out keeps his row and counts as a miss.
Who will win Kalmar vs Leksand?
Leksand are the pick to win at Kalmar with a 54% chance including overtime, and the projected score is 3–2.
Leksand travel to Kalmar as the second-placed team against the third, and their recent form is level on wins: both have taken 3 of their last 5. The difference is in scoring, where Leksand have averaged 5.0 goals a game over that stretch while Kalmar have averaged 3.4, though both have allowed 2.6. That heavier Leksand attack is a key reason they are favoured despite being on the road.
On adjusted ratings, which account for the strength of opponents faced, Leksand hold a +0.55 goals-per-game edge over an average team, compared with Kalmar's +0.39. That 0.17-goal gap is partly offset by home ice, worth about 0.32 goals a game in this league, but not enough to flip the favourite. The model still leans Leksand, with a projected 3–2 score.
The teams have met once recently, and Kalmar won that game 6–3 on 2026-10-21, so Leksand will be looking to respond. The market also favours Leksand: after removing the bookmaker margin, the moneyline across 9 bookmakers prices them at 57%, which aligns with our 54% chance. With about 21% of games like this level after 60 minutes, Leksand's regulation win probability is only 43%, and the rest of their 54% comes from overtime and the shootout.
Given the closeness of the ratings and the home-ice edge, this is effectively a coin flip, and the lean toward Leksand should be treated with care. Their superior scoring form and adjusted rating give them the edge, but Kalmar's home advantage and recent head-to-head win keep the game balanced.
The projected 3–2 score implies a total of 5 goals, just under the 5.5 line, yet our numbers give the over 5.5 a 56% chance against a projected 6.4 goals. On the puck line, Leksand −1.5 comes in 30% of the time on our numbers, reflecting the likelihood of a one-goal margin. These figures suggest the spread and total markets are finely balanced, with the over holding a slight edge.
Leksand to win, overtime and shootout included, at 54%, with a projected score of 3–2.
