Jeremy Swayman · 0.908 SV%
The preseason ratings make Boston Bruins 63.2% to win at home: a clear lean, worth 13.3 points over a coin flip, which grades B. Over a full season those same ratings project BOS for 99 points and SEA for 88.
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
BOS controlled play at 5v5 last season, 47.6% of the expected goals to 45.8%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Jeremy Swayman (BOS) saved -4.6 goals above expected to Joey Daccord's -18.4, on save percentages of 0.908 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. Boston Bruins over Seattle Kraken 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.
