Final · Sun, Oct 4, 8:00 PM ET
Lukas Dostal · 0.888 SV%
The preseason ratings make Anaheim Ducks 55.5% to win at home: a modest lean, worth 5.5 points over a coin flip, which grades B. Over a full season those same ratings project ANA for 94 points and FLA for 92.
The model leaned Anaheim Ducks at 55.5%.
PuckCast had Anaheim Ducks at 55.5% to win this game on Sun, Oct 4. The matchup detail follows.
ANA controlled play at 5v5 last season, 51.0% of the expected goals to 49.8%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Jacob Markstrom (FLA) saved -29.8 goals above expected to Lukas Dostal's -32.8, on save percentages of 0.883 and 0.888.
None of that is the model read. This is a rating-and-home-ice forecast; the full prediction, with confirmed goalies, rest and form, priced against the market, publishes inside the seven days before puck drop and replaces these numbers. Anaheim Ducks over Florida Panthers is where it starts, not where it ends.
No sportsbook has posted a price for this game yet. Prices usually appear roughly a week before puck drop.
No starter is named this far out. These are each side’s projected starters on the current roster, with last season’s numbers.
