The preseason ratings make Winnipeg Jets 52.2% to win at home: barely a lean at all, worth 2.2 points over a coin flip, which grades C. Over a full season those same ratings project WPG for 89 points and FLA for 92.
The model leaned Winnipeg Jets at 52.2%.
PuckCast had Winnipeg Jets at 52.2% to win this game on Tue, Oct 27. The matchup detail follows.
FLA controlled play at 5v5 last season, 53.7% of the expected goals to 44.6%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Stuart Skinner (WPG) saved -28.0 goals above expected to Jacob Markstrom's -29.8, on save percentages of 0.888 and 0.883.
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. Winnipeg Jets 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.
