The preseason ratings make Dallas Stars 59.9% to win at home: a modest lean, worth 9.9 points over a coin flip, which grades B. Over a full season those same ratings project DAL for 103 points and CBJ for 96.
The model leaned Dallas Stars at 59.9%.
PuckCast had Dallas Stars at 59.9% to win this game on Sat, Oct 31. The matchup detail follows.
DAL controlled play at 5v5 last season, 52.0% of the expected goals to 46.6%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Jet Greaves (CBJ) saved -3.5 goals above expected to Jake Oettinger's -14.5, on save percentages of 0.908 and 0.899.
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. Dallas Stars over Columbus Blue Jackets 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.
