The preseason ratings make Winnipeg Jets 51.4% to win at home — barely a lean at all, worth 1.4 points over a coin flip, which grades C. Over a full season those same ratings project WPG for 89 points and NJD for 94.
A preseason forecast from each team's regressed rating and home ice, the ratings behind the projected standings. The full model read, with the starting goalies, rest and form, publishes within seven days of the game and replaces this page’s numbers. How the model works
NJD controlled play at 5v5 last season, 49.0% of the expected goals to 47.7%; WPG's power play ran at 18.5% against a NJD kill at 79.3%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Jake Allen (NJD) saved -7.2 goals above expected to Connor Hellebuyck's -22.8, on save percentages of 0.904 and 0.895.
None of that is the model read. This is a rating-and-home-ice forecast; the full prediction — confirmed goalies, rest and form, priced against the market — publishes inside the seven days before puck drop and replaces these numbers. Winnipeg Jets over New Jersey Devils is where it starts, not where it ends.
No starter is named this far out. These are each side’s projected starters on the current roster, with last season’s numbers.
