What It Means:

Ward stopped 35 of 36 shots in the Hurricanes' shootout win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Ward has won three of his last four starts while posting a 1.68 goals against average and .941 save percentage.

Despite giving him a 62 percent chance of getting the win tonight, our models have Ward as the 14th-ranked goalie for the 13-game slate. We project him to permit 2.23 goals on 24.47 shots.
