2026-27 forecast · Tue, Jan 12, 8:00 PM ET
Jet Greaves · 0.908 SV%
The preseason ratings make Columbus Blue Jackets 50.4% to win on the road: barely a lean at all, worth 0.4 points over a coin flip, which grades C. Over a full season those same ratings project CBJ for 96 points and CGY for 89.
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 this is calculated
PuckCast's preseason forecast gives Columbus Blue Jackets a 50.4% chance to win on Tue, Jan 12. The matchup detail follows.
CGY controlled play at 5v5 last season, 47.9% 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 Dustin Wolf's -17.8, 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. Columbus Blue Jackets over Calgary Flames 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.
