PuckCast's preseason forecast gives Carolina Hurricanes a 67.5% chance to win on Sat, Nov 14. The matchup detail follows.
CAR controlled play at 5v5 last season, 60.4% of the expected goals to 44.5%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Brandon Bussi (CAR) saved -14.9 goals above expected to Joey Daccord's -18.4, on save percentages of 0.895 and 0.897.
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. Carolina Hurricanes over Seattle Kraken is where it starts, not where it ends.
