Goalies

How we read the lines: from the NHL’s shift charts, the three forwards and the two defencemen who shared the most 5-on-5 ice time, ranked by time on ice. Coaches shuffle lines often, so treat them as a guide until puck drop.

Goalie duel

Projected

Projected from recent starts · confirmed at puck drop

Kevin Lankinen VAN

Jacob Markstrom FLO

2.21 GAA · 3–1–1 · 1 shutout · 6 starts

Teams do not name their goalie before the game. We expect the No. 1 unless his team played the night before, when the back-up usually starts; last season that call was right about two times in three. Our win chances do not depend on it.
