2026-27 forecast · Tue, Mar 30, 8:00 PM ET
Jake Oettinger · 0.899 SV%
The preseason ratings make Dallas Stars 65.0% to win at home: a clear lean, worth 15.0 points over a coin flip, which grades B. Over a full season those same ratings project DAL for 103 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
DAL controlled play at 5v5 last season, 51.2% of the expected goals to 46.1%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Jake Oettinger (DAL) saved -14.5 goals above expected to Dustin Wolf's -17.8, on save percentages of 0.899 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. Dallas Stars 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.
