How goalie status works

Confirmed means the team or a beat reporter named the starter. Likely means the goalie is expected to start but no one has confirmed it. Unconfirmed means we are using the team's usual starter.

Status comes from Daily Faceoff and refreshes every 20 minutes. Goalie projections only count the expected starter.

How the goalie projection works

The win chance comes from the betting market, or from our NHL game sim when there is no line.

We project shots against from the opponent's shot volume and the team's shots allowed. Goals against blend the goalie's save percentage from his last 60 starts, pulled toward the current league rate, with the market's goal expectation.

The projection is the exact expected DraftKings score, including the shutout and 35+ saves bonuses.

Frequently asked questions

When are NHL starting goalies confirmed?

Most starters are confirmed at the morning skate or about 90 minutes before puck drop. Back-to-back games often bring a backup start.

What is a good DraftKings goalie score?

A win with 30 saves and 2 goals against scores 20 DraftKings points before bonuses.
