How we read the lines

From the NHL’s shift charts, the three forwards and the two defencemen who shared the most 5-on-5 ice time, ranked by time on ice. Coaches shuffle lines often, so treat them as a guide until puck drop. Power-play and penalty-kill units: the five (on the power play) or four (on the penalty kill) skaters who were on the ice together the longest in that situation. TOI: ice time in that game. G, A, P: goals, assists and points this season.

Goalie duel

Projected

Projected from recent starts · confirmed at puck drop

Darcy Kuemper LOS

.890 save percentage

3.55 GAA · 2–3–1 · 6 starts

Ilya Sorokin NEW

.934 save percentage

1.72 GAA · 5–2–0 · 1 shutout · 7 starts

Teams do not name their goalie before the game. We expect the No. 1 unless his team played the night before, when the back-up usually starts; last season that call was right about two times in three. Our win chances do not depend on it.
