Starters, saves and decisions are from the NHL's boxscores (W, L or O for an overtime or shootout loss). Our call is what this page projected before puck drop: Right, Missed, or Not called when no projection was recorded in time.

How the starter is projected, and how it is graded

  1. A goalie listed out, on injured reserve or suspended does not start.
  2. The goalie with the larger share of his team's starts over its last 10 games starts. A team with fewer than three games this season uses the blended share from our goalie board.
  3. Unless the team played last night and the other goalie has started at least 20% of those games: then the goalie who did not play last night starts.
  4. Each projection is recorded before puck drop and checked against the starting goalie in the NHL's boxscore within minutes of it. Our projections: 28 of 34 right this week (Week 4) (82%), 49 of 66 right this season (74%).

Common questions

  • Who is starting in goal in the NHL tonight (Thu Oct 22)?

    12 games. The projected starters are Juuse Saros (NSH), Jeremy Swayman (BOS), Dylan Garand (NYR), Sergei Bobrovsky (TOR), Yaroslav Askarov (SJS), Samuel Ersson (OTT) and 18 more in the table. Each is a projection from recent starts, not a team announcement.

  • Are these starting goalies confirmed?

    No. The NHL does not publish a starting goalie before a game; its data carries a starter only once the game is under way. Every name here is projected from the goalie's share of his team's recent starts and the schedule, then checked against the boxscore after puck drop, which is where the record on this page comes from.

  • How is the projected starter chosen?

    A goalie listed out, on injured reserve or suspended is skipped. The goalie with the larger share of his team's starts over its last 10 games starts, unless the team played last night and the other goalie has started at least 20% of those games, in which case the goalie who did not play last night starts. Likely, Probable and Unclear describe the gap between the two goalies' shares.

  • How accurate are the projections?

    Our projections: 28 of 34 right this week (Week 4) (82%), 49 of 66 right this season (74%). Each projection is recorded before puck drop and graded against the starting goalie in the NHL's boxscore; nothing is changed after the fact.
