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

Sergei Murashov PIT

.883 save percentage

3.50 GAA · 0–3–1 · 4 starts

Back-up expected: second night of a back-to-back

Joey Daccord SEA

.882 save percentage

3.89 GAA · 3–2–0 · 5 starts

Back-up expected: second night of a back-to-back

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.
