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 Winnipeg Jets a 52.1% chance to win on Sat, Feb 13. The matchup detail follows.
WPG controlled play at 5v5 last season, 44.6% of the expected goals to 38.4%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Stuart Skinner (WPG) saved -28.0 goals above expected to Kevin Lankinen's -44.4, on save percentages of 0.888 and 0.875.
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 Vancouver Canucks 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.
