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

Alex Nedeljkovic SAN

.917 save percentage

2.37 GAA · 3–0–1 · 4 starts

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

Sergei Bobrovsky TOR

.895 save percentage

3.10 GAA · 3–3–2 · 8 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.
