2026-27 · ProjectedUpdated Tuesday, Oct 27, 2026 · 7:36 PM ET
Where these numbers come from: The projected starter is the goalie each club's depth chart ranks first in the NHL team hubs. It is a projection, not a confirmed start for any given game; clubs name tonight's starter close to puck drop. Game prices are Kalshi's KXNHLGAME contracts.
NEXT GAMESEach club’s projected No. 1 beside its price to win. A confirmed starter can differ — backups often take the second game of a back-to-back.

METHOD
How to read this page
The starter is the goalie his club’s depth chart ranks first; the backup is the one ranked second.
This is a season-long projection. Most clubs split starts, especially on back-to-backs, and confirm the night’s goalie at the morning skate or later.
Win is each club’s Kalshi price to win the game, linking to its market. A dash means no price yet: no market is open, or nobody has traded that side and its order book is too wide to read.
